After Action Report
In Memphis, the Grizzlies stunned the Timberwolves 120-111. The tempo dragged the Timberwolves into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Grizzlies' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Timberwolves' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Early returns: the Grizzlies per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. An upset for the books.
