After Action Report
In a track meet, the Celtics squeaked past the Grizzlies 117-115. The tempo dragged the Grizzlies into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Celtics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Grizzlies' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Grizzlies rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
