After Action Report

The Rockets squeaked past the Grizzlies 99-98. Rockets' offense had its way with the Grizzlies. Shots just aren't falling for the Rockets lately; the Rockets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Grizzlies looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Grizzlies' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • 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.
