After Action Report

In Memphis, the Suns held off the Grizzlies 103-97. The Grizzlies couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Suns. The Grizzlies played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Grizzlies bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Suns per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
