After Action Report

In Washington, the Grizzlies squeaked past the Wizards 111-110. The tempo dragged the Wizards into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Second-chance points piled up for the Grizzlies; the Grizzlies pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Grizzlies bench chemistry carried them. The Grizzlies rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
