After Action Report
The Grizzlies demolished the Celtics 116-80. Grizzlies' offense had its way with the Celtics. The Grizzlies carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Grizzlies' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Grizzlies locker room is humming, and it showed. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Grizzlies · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Grizzlies · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
