After Action Report

The Grizzlies pulled away from the Cavaliers 117-98. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Grizzlies cashed in. The Grizzlies answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Grizzlies' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Grizzlies bench chemistry carried them. Cavaliers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Cavaliers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Grizzlies · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Grizzlies · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
