After Action Report

In Boston, the Grizzlies fended off the Celtics 113-105. The Celtics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Grizzlies answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Grizzlies' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Grizzlies' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
