After Action Report
The Grizzlies edged the Clippers 104-97. The Grizzlies won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Grizzlies' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Grizzlies owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Grizzlies bench chemistry carried them. Style points be damned.
