After Action Report
The Grizzlies buried the Rockets 123-103. Grizzlies' offense had its way with the Rockets. The Grizzlies owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Grizzlies came in with something to prove after a loss. Whispers of a Rockets locker-room rift aren't helping. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Rockets · 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.
