After Action Report

In San Antonio, the Grizzlies handled the Spurs 114-96. The Grizzlies won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Grizzlies' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Grizzlies looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Grizzlies bench chemistry carried them. Spurs' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Spurs · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Spurs · 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 · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Grizzlies · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
