After Action Report

The Grizzlies fended off the Spurs 100-93. The Spurs couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Grizzlies. Grizzlies' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Grizzlies owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Grizzlies bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
