After Action Report
The Grizzlies pulled away from the Suns 96-84. Ugly basketball, but the Grizzlies did just enough. The Grizzlies steamroller is in full effect right now; the Suns couldn't shake the cold spell. The Grizzlies locker room is humming, and it showed. Grizzlies' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it

- Grizzlies · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Suns · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
