After Action Report

The 76ers blew the doors off the Grizzlies 137-112. The breakneck pace played right into 76ers' hands. Fresh off a statement win, the 76ers stayed locked in; the 76ers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Grizzlies looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Grizzlies utilization choices clashed with the team identity. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

What tipped it

  • 76ers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Grizzlies · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Grizzlies · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
