After Action Report

In New York, the Grizzlies pulled away from the Knicks 105-95. The Grizzlies won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Grizzlies owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Grizzlies' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Grizzlies bench chemistry carried them. Grizzlies' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Grizzlies · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Grizzlies · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
