After Action Report
The Grizzlies knocked off the Hornets 129-120. The Hornets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Grizzlies' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Grizzlies steamroller is in full effect right now. The Grizzlies locker room is humming, and it showed. Grizzlies' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Grizzlies · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- 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.
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
