After Action Report
The Grizzlies fended off the Mavericks 108-100. The Grizzlies won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Grizzlies' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies locker room is humming, and it showed. Grizzlies' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
