After Action Report

In Houston, the Grizzlies blew the doors off the Rockets 113-92. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Grizzlies came in with something to prove after a loss; Grizzlies' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Grizzlies bench chemistry carried them. Grizzlies' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
