After Action Report
In Memphis, the Grizzlies survived the Lakers 112-109. The breakneck pace played right into Grizzlies' hands. The Grizzlies came in with something to prove after a loss; the Grizzlies pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Grizzlies rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
