After Action Report

In a track meet, the Grizzlies demolished the Mavericks 131-108. The tempo dragged the Mavericks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Grizzlies answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Grizzlies pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Grizzlies locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Grizzlies per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
