After Action Report
In Boston, the Grizzlies held off the Celtics 97-89. The Grizzlies won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Grizzlies looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; Grizzlies' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Grizzlies bench chemistry carried them. Celtics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

- Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Grizzlies · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
