After Action Report
The Grizzlies took care of the Celtics 111-101. Ugly basketball, but the Grizzlies did just enough. Grizzlies' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for 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.
