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.
