After Action Report

In Memphis, the Grizzlies fended off the Mavericks 96-87. Every possession went the Grizzlies way. The Grizzlies couldn't shake the cold spell; the Mavericks pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Mavericks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Mavericks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Grizzlies · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Grizzlies · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
