After Action Report

The Grizzlies shocked the Clippers 106-97. The breakneck pace played right into Grizzlies' hands. The Grizzlies came in with something to prove after a loss; the Grizzlies pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Grizzlies locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Grizzlies per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.

  • Clippers · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
  • Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
