After Action Report

The Grizzlies demolished the Hornets 127-106. The Hornets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Grizzlies sent shots into the fifth row all night; the Grizzlies carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Grizzlies bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Grizzlies per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Grizzlies · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
  • Grizzlies · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Grizzlies · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
