After Action Report

The Grizzlies ran roughshod over the Cavaliers 129-106. Grizzlies' offense had its way with the Cavaliers. Grizzlies' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; shots just aren't falling for the Cavaliers lately. The Grizzlies bench chemistry carried them. The Cavaliers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It broke open after the break.

What tipped it

  • Cavaliers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Cavaliers · 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 · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
