After Action Report

In San Antonio, the Spurs demolished the Grizzlies 113-88. Spurs' offense had its way with the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies are in a full-on tailspin; Grizzlies' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

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