After Action Report

In a track meet, the Warriors survived the Grizzlies 116-112. The breakneck pace played right into Warriors' hands. Warriors' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Warriors. The Warriors bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Warriors per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Grizzlies · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Warriors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Warriors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Warriors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
