After Action Report
The Grizzlies snuck past the Warriors 95-92. Ugly basketball, but the Grizzlies did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Grizzlies; the Grizzlies came in with something to prove after a loss. Whispers of a Warriors locker-room rift aren't helping. Grizzlies' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Warriors · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Warriors · 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 · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
