After Action Report
The Grizzlies buried the Timberwolves 126-87. Grizzlies' offense had its way with the Timberwolves. Grizzlies' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies bench chemistry carried them. The Grizzlies rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.
