After Action Report
The Grizzlies downed the Suns 115-101. The Suns couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Grizzlies. Grizzlies' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Suns' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Grizzlies bench chemistry carried them. Grizzlies' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Grizzlies · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
