After Action Report
The Spurs buried the Grizzlies 126-88. The tempo dragged the Grizzlies into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Spurs carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Spurs pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Grizzlies · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Grizzlies · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Spurs · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
