After Action Report

The Grizzlies ran roughshod over the Rockets 139-115. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Grizzlies cashed in. Grizzlies' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Rockets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
