After Action Report
The Grizzlies blew the doors off the Rockets 131-98. The Grizzlies got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Grizzlies' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Grizzlies per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
