After Action Report
The Grizzlies snuck past the Suns 121-119. The breakneck pace played right into Grizzlies' hands. Grizzlies' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; the Grizzlies pushed the pace until the other side broke. Grizzlies' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
