Bucks 101, Grizzlies 96 Special Overtime Post-Game Four-Pointer
Going into post-game-report overtime to match a tough home loss tonight:
1. Outworked Inside: There are a lot of reasons the Grizzlies lost this game from some bad offensive execution down the stretch to an all-around third quarter implosion where the team squandered a double-digit lead. But the biggest reason is obvious: The Bucks beat the Grizzlies on the offensive boards 23(!) to 8, leading to a 28-12 disparity in second-chance points. Any way you want to slice, the Grizzlies’ frontcourt got badly outworked on the boards: 27 to 5 by the starting forwards; 11 to 1 on the offensive boards among starting forwards; 42 to 12 among the starting frontcourts; 16 to 3 on the offensive boards among the starting frontcourts; 49 to 23 among the entire frontcourt rotations; 21 to 7 on the offensive boards among the frontcourt rotations.
