After Action Report

The Grizzlies pulled away from the Kings 111-98. Grizzlies' offense had its way with the Kings. The Grizzlies owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Grizzlies answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Whispers of a Kings locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Kings utilization choices clashed with the team identity.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • 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.
