After Action Report
The Grizzlies rolled past the Lakers 113-76. Every possession went the Grizzlies way. The Lakers couldn't shake the cold spell; the Lakers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Grizzlies bench chemistry carried them. Grizzlies' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Grizzlies · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
