After Action Report

The Lakers ran roughshod over the Grizzlies 133-103. The Grizzlies had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Lakers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the Grizzlies are in a full-on tailspin. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • 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.
  • Lakers · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
