After Action Report
In Memphis, the Grizzlies outlasted the Spurs 111-97. Grizzlies torched the Spurs on the offensive end. The Grizzlies carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; second-chance points piled up for the Spurs. The Grizzlies locker room is humming, and it showed. Spurs' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
