After Action Report

In a track meet, the Grizzlies survived the Rockets 119-118. The breakneck pace played right into Grizzlies' hands. Grizzlies' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Early returns: the Grizzlies per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
