After Action Report

The Grizzlies survived the Suns 102-99. The Grizzlies won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Grizzlies owned the glass, generating extra possessions; fresh off a statement win, the Grizzlies stayed locked in. The Grizzlies locker room is humming, and it showed. 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 · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Grizzlies · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
