After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Grizzlies squeaked past the Hornets 95-92. The Grizzlies won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Grizzlies answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Grizzlies' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Whispers of a Hornets locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Hornets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Grizzlies · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
