After Action Report
The Grizzlies pulled away from the Celtics 117-99. The Celtics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Grizzlies owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Grizzlies' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Grizzlies' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
