After Action Report
The Grizzlies outlasted the Celtics 120-104. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Grizzlies cashed in. The Grizzlies answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; 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.
