After Action Report
In Memphis, the Grizzlies survived the Rockets 126-124. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Grizzlies cashed in. Grizzlies' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Grizzlies owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
