I can’t wait to see LeBron again this season. Last year, coming off the Olympics, you could see that his focus was on improving defensively.

With a lighter slate of opponents on the horizon, the Memphis Grizzlies came out eager to improve on their recent play and get back in the win column on Monday against Houston. The result was their most complete game of the season and a 109-97 victory. Their goal was to play better, play harder and play smarter. Mission Accomplished.
