After Action Report

The Grizzlies survived the Rockets 102-101. The Rockets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Grizzlies. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Grizzlies; Grizzlies' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Grizzlies bench chemistry carried them. Grizzlies' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
