After Action Report

The Grizzlies blew the doors off the 76ers 134-111. The breakneck pace played right into Grizzlies' hands. Grizzlies' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Grizzlies owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Whispers of a 76ers locker-room rift aren't helping. 76ers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

What tipped it

  • 76ers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • 76ers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Grizzlies · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Grizzlies · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Grizzlies · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
