After Action Report
The Grizzlies ran roughshod over the Pistons 118-97. Grizzlies' offense had its way with the Pistons. Grizzlies' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Grizzlies owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Grizzlies locker room is humming, and it showed. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
