After Action Report

In Memphis, the Grizzlies buried the Spurs 135-86. The Grizzlies got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Grizzlies' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Grizzlies ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Grizzlies locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Spurs utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Grizzlies · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • 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.
  • Spurs · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
