After Action Report

The Grizzlies outlasted the Suns 107-101. Every possession went the Grizzlies way. Grizzlies' defenders refused to give up clean looks; second-chance points piled up for the Suns. The Grizzlies locker room is humming, and it showed. Suns' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Grizzlies · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
