After Action Report

In San Antonio, the Grizzlies buried the Spurs 118-74. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Grizzlies cashed in. The Grizzlies owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Grizzlies couldn't shake the cold spell. Whispers of a Spurs locker-room rift aren't helping. Grizzlies' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Spurs · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Grizzlies · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Grizzlies · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Grizzlies · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
