After Action Report
In Toronto, the Grizzlies survived the Raptors 102-98. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Grizzlies' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Grizzlies carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. 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.
