After Action Report

The Grizzlies squeaked past the Mavericks 106-103. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Grizzlies answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Grizzlies' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Grizzlies locker room is humming, and it showed. Grizzlies' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
