After Action Report
In Memphis, the Grizzlies buried the Trail Blazers 121-98. The breakneck pace played right into Grizzlies' hands. Grizzlies' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Grizzlies' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Grizzlies' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Grizzlies · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Trail Blazers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
