After Action Report
The Grizzlies took care of the Cavaliers 112-97. The tempo dragged the Cavaliers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Second-chance points piled up for the Grizzlies; the Grizzlies ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Grizzlies locker room is humming, and it showed. Grizzlies' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

- Grizzlies · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
