Grizzlies already in the bonus with 7 minutes left in the quarter. Certainly not ideal with how tight the whistle has been the past few possessions – 8:50 PM
Steve Popper @StevePopper
Mitchell had 6 rebounds in the first quarter — and already has 4 assists (matching his career-best) including a pretty feed to Fournier for a first quarter ending three. – 8:50 PM

WE ON ALLLLLLLLL THAT.
