After Action Report
The Grizzlies snuck past the Celtics 90-89. The Grizzlies won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Grizzlies couldn't shake the cold spell; the Grizzlies pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Celtics looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Celtics utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Grizzlies · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
