After Action Report
The Grizzlies took care of the Rockets 97-84. Every possession went the Grizzlies way. Grizzlies' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; the Rockets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Grizzlies · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Rockets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
