After Action Report
The Suns ran roughshod over the Grizzlies 110-86. Ugly basketball, but the Suns did just enough. Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Suns owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Whispers of a Grizzlies locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the Suns per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
