After Action Report
In Toronto, the Grizzlies outlasted the Raptors 97-90. The Grizzlies won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Grizzlies carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Grizzlies' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Grizzlies bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Grizzlies per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
