After Action Report

In Houston, the Grizzlies downed the Rockets 108-94. The tempo dragged the Rockets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Second-chance points piled up for the Grizzlies; the Grizzlies came in with something to prove after a loss. The Grizzlies bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Rockets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.
