After Action Report
The Grizzlies outlasted the Hornets 100-91. The Hornets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Grizzlies. Second-chance points piled up for the Hornets; the Hornets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Grizzlies bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Grizzlies per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Grizzlies · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
