After Action Report
In a track meet, the Grizzlies ran roughshod over the Spurs 140-117. The Spurs had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Grizzlies pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Spurs are in a full-on tailspin. The Grizzlies bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Grizzlies per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
