After Action Report
In a track meet, the Grizzlies fended off the Nuggets 107-100. Grizzlies controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Grizzlies pushed the pace until the other side broke; Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Grizzlies' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
