After Action Report
In San Antonio, the Grizzlies buried the Spurs 118-74. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Grizzlies cashed in. The Grizzlies owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Grizzlies couldn't shake the cold spell. Whispers of a Spurs locker-room rift aren't helping. Grizzlies' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
