After Action Report

In Toronto, the Grizzlies demolished the Raptors 128-95. The breakneck pace played right into Grizzlies' hands. The Grizzlies played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Grizzlies' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Grizzlies bench chemistry carried them. The Raptors rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Raptors · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Grizzlies · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Grizzlies · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
