After Action Report
The Grizzlies rolled past the Celtics 110-85. Grizzlies torched the Celtics on the offensive end. Second-chance points piled up for the Grizzlies; the Grizzlies pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Grizzlies bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Celtics utilization choices clashed with the team identity. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- 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.
- 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.
