After Action Report
In Memphis, the Grizzlies edged the Nuggets 120-111. The breakneck pace played right into Grizzlies' hands. Second-chance points piled up for the Grizzlies; the Grizzlies pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Grizzlies locker room is humming, and it showed. The Nuggets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Grizzlies · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Grizzlies · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
