After Action Report

In Memphis, the Grizzlies demolished the Lakers 112-87. Ugly basketball, but the Grizzlies did just enough. The Grizzlies owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Grizzlies locker room is humming, and it showed. Garbage time started early.
