After Action Report
In Memphis, the Celtics handled the Grizzlies 116-105. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks; fresh off a statement win, the Grizzlies stayed locked in. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Grizzlies · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
