After Action Report
In a track meet, the Grizzlies rolled past the Pacers 130-103. The breakneck pace played right into Grizzlies' hands. The Grizzlies played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Grizzlies' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a Pacers locker-room rift aren't helping. The Pacers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Grizzlies · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
