After Action Report

In a track meet, the Grizzlies blew the doors off the Lakers 134-82. Grizzlies torched the Lakers on the offensive end. Grizzlies' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Grizzlies' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Grizzlies locker room is humming, and it showed. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.

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.
  • Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
