After Action Report
The Grizzlies rolled past the Celtics 120-95. Grizzlies' offense had its way with the Celtics. The Grizzlies owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Grizzlies came in with something to prove after a loss. Whispers of a Celtics locker-room rift aren't helping. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Grizzlies · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Grizzlies · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
