After Action Report

The Grizzlies handled the Mavericks 131-112. The Grizzlies got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Grizzlies' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Mavericks utilization choices clashed with the team identity.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Grizzlies · 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 · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Grizzlies · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
