After Action Report

The Grizzlies squeaked past the Celtics 93-88. The Celtics couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Grizzlies. Fresh off a statement win, the Grizzlies stayed locked in; Grizzlies' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Grizzlies bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Grizzlies per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
