After Action Report

In Sacramento, the Grizzlies ran roughshod over the Kings 113-93. Grizzlies' scorers couldn't be contained. The Grizzlies carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Kings' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Grizzlies bench chemistry carried them. The Kings rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It broke open after the break.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Grizzlies · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Grizzlies · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
