After Action Report

In Utah, the Grizzlies squeaked past the Jazz 100-96. Grizzlies torched the Jazz on the offensive end. The Jazz answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Jazz's veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Grizzlies bench chemistry carried them. Grizzlies' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
