After Action Report
In Memphis, the Grizzlies handled the Lakers 114-99. Every possession went the Grizzlies way. Grizzlies' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Lakers are in a full-on tailspin. The Grizzlies locker room is humming, and it showed. The Lakers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
