After Action Report
The Celtics downed the Grizzlies 99-86. Celtics' offense had its way with the Grizzlies. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; the Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Tonight's Grizzlies utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
