After Action Report
The Grizzlies buried the Cavaliers 133-100. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Grizzlies cashed in. Grizzlies' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Grizzlies per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- 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 · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Cavaliers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
