After Action Report
The Grizzlies held off the Lakers 102-95. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Grizzlies answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Grizzlies' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Grizzlies' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
