After Action Report
The Grizzlies rolled past the Jazz 116-80. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Grizzlies cashed in. The Grizzlies looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; Grizzlies' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Grizzlies bench chemistry carried them. Grizzlies' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Jazz · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Grizzlies · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Grizzlies · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
