After Action Report

In San Antonio, the Grizzlies snuck past the Spurs 139-137 in double overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Grizzlies cashed in. Grizzlies' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone; the Grizzlies looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Grizzlies bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Grizzlies per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
