After Action Report
The Grizzlies demolished the Celtics 122-102. Grizzlies' scorers couldn't be contained. Grizzlies' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Grizzlies pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Grizzlies locker room is humming, and it showed. Grizzlies' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Grizzlies · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Grizzlies · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- 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.
