After Action Report

The Grizzlies squeaked past the Celtics 102-97. Every possession went the Grizzlies way. Grizzlies' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Grizzlies came in with something to prove after a loss. Whispers of a Celtics locker-room rift aren't helping. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Grizzlies · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Grizzlies · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
