After Action Report
In Memphis, the Hornets shocked the Grizzlies 101-88. The Hornets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Hornets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; shots just aren't falling for the Grizzlies lately. Whispers of a Grizzlies locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Grizzlies utilization choices clashed with the team identity. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Grizzlies · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Grizzlies · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
