After Action Report

The Grizzlies outlasted the Hornets 107-97. Grizzlies torched the Hornets on the offensive end. Fresh off a statement win, the Grizzlies stayed locked in; Grizzlies' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Grizzlies bench chemistry carried them. Grizzlies' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
