After Action Report
The Grizzlies demolished the Celtics 142-108. The Celtics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Grizzlies' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Grizzlies pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Grizzlies bench chemistry carried them. Celtics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- 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.
