After Action Report

In Denver, the Grizzlies survived the Nuggets 99-97. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Grizzlies came in with something to prove after a loss; Grizzlies' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Grizzlies bench chemistry carried them. The Grizzlies rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
