After Action Report

In Memphis, the Spurs outlasted the Grizzlies 111-99. Spurs' scorers couldn't be contained. Spurs' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Spurs. Whispers of a Grizzlies locker-room rift aren't helping. The Grizzlies rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

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.
  • Spurs · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Spurs · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
