After Action Report
In a track meet, the Grizzlies demolished the Wizards 120-98. The breakneck pace played right into Grizzlies' hands. The Grizzlies pushed the pace until the other side broke; Wizards' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Grizzlies locker room is humming, and it showed. Grizzlies' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Grizzlies · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
