After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Grizzlies shocked the Clippers 126-122. The Grizzlies got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Grizzlies owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Grizzlies' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Grizzlies' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
