After Action Report

The Grizzlies blew the doors off the Timberwolves 119-84. Grizzlies' offense had its way with the Timberwolves. Second-chance points piled up for the Timberwolves; the Timberwolves are in a full-on tailspin. The Grizzlies locker room is humming, and it showed. Grizzlies' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Grizzlies · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Timberwolves · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Timberwolves · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Timberwolves · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
