After Action Report
In Memphis, the Grizzlies squeaked past the Lakers 104-100. Ugly basketball, but the Grizzlies did just enough. Grizzlies' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; fresh off a statement win, the Grizzlies stayed locked in. The Grizzlies locker room is humming, and it showed. The Lakers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Grizzlies · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- 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.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
