After Action Report
The Grizzlies ran roughshod over the Lakers 122-94. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Grizzlies cashed in. The Grizzlies carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Grizzlies locker room is humming, and it showed. Grizzlies' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
