After Action Report

In Memphis, the Grizzlies handled the Nuggets 90-80. Ugly basketball, but the Grizzlies did just enough. The Grizzlies bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Nuggets are in a full-on tailspin. The Nuggets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Nuggets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.
