After Action Report

In a track meet, the Grizzlies survived the Trail Blazers 129-128. Grizzlies' scorers couldn't be contained. The Grizzlies answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Grizzlies' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Grizzlies locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Grizzlies per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
