After Action Report

In Memphis, the Grizzlies snuck past the Rockets 107-105. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Grizzlies answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Grizzlies' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Grizzlies' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
