After Action Report
In Memphis, the Grizzlies held off the Trail Blazers 131-124. The tempo dragged the Trail Blazers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Grizzlies' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Trail Blazers bent the defense out of shape from deep. Early returns: the Grizzlies per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
