After Action Report
The Grizzlies fended off the Raptors 94-86. The Grizzlies won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Fresh off a statement win, the Grizzlies stayed locked in; Grizzlies' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Grizzlies bench chemistry carried them. Grizzlies' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Raptors · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- 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.
