After Action Report

In Memphis, the Grizzlies rolled past the Rockets 106-73. Grizzlies' scorers couldn't be contained. Second-chance points piled up for the Grizzlies; the Grizzlies answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Rockets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Grizzlies · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Grizzlies · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
