After Action Report

In Utah, the Grizzlies squeaked past the Jazz 90-85. The Grizzlies won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Grizzlies' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Grizzlies owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Grizzlies bench chemistry carried them. Grizzlies' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
