After Action Report
The Grizzlies survived the Rockets 119-116. The breakneck pace played right into Grizzlies' hands. Grizzlies' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Grizzlies' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Grizzlies bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Grizzlies per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
