After Action Report

In a track meet, the Grizzlies squeaked past the Kings 99-97. The Kings couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Grizzlies. Shots just aren't falling for the Grizzlies lately; the Grizzlies pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a Kings locker-room rift aren't helping. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Grizzlies · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
