After Action Report

The Grizzlies snuck past the Nuggets 103-98. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Second-chance points piled up for the Grizzlies; the Grizzlies played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Whispers of a Nuggets locker-room rift aren't helping. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Nuggets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Grizzlies · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Grizzlies · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
