After Action Report

The Grizzlies outlasted the Timberwolves 106-96. Grizzlies' offense had its way with the Timberwolves. Grizzlies' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Grizzlies' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Grizzlies bench chemistry carried them. The Grizzlies rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

  • Grizzlies · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
