After Action Report

In Chicago, the Grizzlies held off the Bulls 120-112. Grizzlies' offense had its way with the Bulls. The Grizzlies owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Grizzlies pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Grizzlies bench chemistry carried them. Grizzlies' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Grizzlies · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Grizzlies · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
