After Action Report

In Memphis, the Trail Blazers rolled past the Grizzlies 124-104. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. Trail Blazers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; the Grizzlies owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Never a doubt in this one.

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.
  • Trail Blazers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
