After Action Report

The Lakers survived the Grizzlies 95-90. Ugly basketball, but the Lakers did just enough. Grizzlies' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. The Grizzlies rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Grizzlies · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
