After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Grizzlies blew the doors off the Hornets 126-94. Grizzlies torched the Hornets on the offensive end. The Grizzlies pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Hornets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Grizzlies bench chemistry carried them. The Hornets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Hornets · 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.
