After Action Report
The Grizzlies buried the Hornets 117-96. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Grizzlies cashed in. The Grizzlies ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Grizzlies' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Grizzlies bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Grizzlies per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
