After Action Report

The Grizzlies buried the Timberwolves 116-93. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Fresh off a statement win, the Grizzlies stayed locked in; Grizzlies' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Grizzlies locker room is humming, and it showed. Grizzlies' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Grizzlies · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Grizzlies · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Timberwolves · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Timberwolves · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
