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.
