After Action Report

The Grizzlies survived the Celtics 125-120. Grizzlies controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Shots just aren't falling for the Grizzlies lately; second-chance points piled up for the Celtics.

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.
  • Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
