After Action Report
The Grizzlies survived the 76ers 116-111. Grizzlies' offense had its way with the 76ers. The Grizzlies steamroller is in full effect right now; Grizzlies' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Grizzlies bench chemistry carried them. The 76ers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- 76ers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- 76ers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Grizzlies · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Grizzlies · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
