After Action Report

In Memphis, the Grizzlies ran roughshod over the Lakers 108-79. Every possession went the Grizzlies way. The Grizzlies bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Lakers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Grizzlies locker room is humming, and it showed. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.

  • Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
