After Action Report

In Houston, the Grizzlies ran roughshod over the Rockets 112-88. The better team simply showed up tonight. Grizzlies' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Grizzlies answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Grizzlies bench chemistry carried them. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Grizzlies · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Grizzlies · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Grizzlies · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
