After Action Report
The Grizzlies stunned the Hawks 104-95. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Grizzlies cashed in. The Grizzlies answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Grizzlies' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.

- Hawks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
