After Action Report
The Grizzlies knocked off the Clippers 104-103. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Grizzlies came in with something to prove after a loss; Grizzlies' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Grizzlies bench chemistry carried them. Grizzlies' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
