After Action Report
In a track meet, the Knicks edged the Grizzlies 95-87. The Grizzlies couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Knicks. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Knicks; Knicks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Grizzlies looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Grizzlies rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Grizzlies · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
