After Action Report
The Grizzlies squeaked past the Timberwolves 118-113. The breakneck pace played right into Grizzlies' hands. Grizzlies' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies locker room is humming, and it showed. Grizzlies' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
