After Action Report
In Memphis, the Grizzlies snuck past the Hornets 93-90. Ugly basketball, but the Grizzlies did just enough. The Grizzlies came in with something to prove after a loss; Grizzlies' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Hornets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Hornets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Grizzlies · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hornets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
