After Action Report
In Memphis, the Grizzlies demolished the Lakers 127-98. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Grizzlies cashed in. The Grizzlies carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Grizzlies bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Grizzlies locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Grizzlies per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
