After Action Report

The Grizzlies ran roughshod over the Wizards 115-90. The Wizards had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Wizards are in a full-on tailspin; the Wizards pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Grizzlies bench chemistry carried them. The Wizards rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Wizards · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Wizards · 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.
