After Action Report

The Grizzlies blew the doors off the Lakers 131-103. The tempo dragged the Lakers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Grizzlies steamroller is in full effect right now; the Lakers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Grizzlies bench chemistry carried them. Never a doubt in this one.
