After Action Report
In Memphis, the Grizzlies upended the Trail Blazers 118-109. Grizzlies controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Grizzlies' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Trail Blazers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Grizzlies locker room is humming, and it showed. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
