After Action Report
The Grizzlies snuck past the 76ers 98-97. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Grizzlies sent shots into the fifth row all night; you could feel the revenge motivation from the 76ers. Early returns: the Grizzlies per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
