After Action Report

In Memphis, the Grizzlies survived the Suns 102-98 in overtime. Grizzlies' scorers couldn't be contained. The Grizzlies couldn't shake the cold spell; Grizzlies' outside barrage was a constant threat.

What tipped it

  • Grizzlies · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Grizzlies · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
