After Action Report
The Spurs demolished the Grizzlies 137-101. The tempo dragged the Grizzlies into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Spurs answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Spurs' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Grizzlies utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It was over by halftime.
