After Action Report
The Grizzlies rolled past the Spurs 122-93. The Grizzlies got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Grizzlies owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Grizzlies' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Spurs looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Grizzlies' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Grizzlies · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Spurs · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
