After Action Report

The Grizzlies downed the Timberwolves 104-87. The Timberwolves couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Grizzlies. Grizzlies' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies bench chemistry carried them. Style points be damned.
