After Action Report
In Portland, the Grizzlies survived the Trail Blazers 100-98. Ugly basketball, but the Grizzlies did just enough. Fresh off a statement win, the Grizzlies stayed locked in; Grizzlies' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Grizzlies bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
