After Action Report
The Grizzlies took care of the Lakers 112-96. 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 locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Grizzlies per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
