After Action Report
The Grizzlies demolished the Lakers 125-99. Grizzlies' scorers couldn't be contained. Grizzlies' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Grizzlies' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Grizzlies bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Lakers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
