After Action Report
In a track meet, the Suns blew the doors off the Grizzlies 146-107. The breakneck pace played right into Suns' hands. Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Suns owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Whispers of a Grizzlies locker-room rift aren't helping. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
