After Action Report
The Grizzlies knocked off the Celtics 119-111. The Celtics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Grizzlies came in with something to prove after a loss; Grizzlies' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Grizzlies locker room is humming, and it showed. The Grizzlies rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
