After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Grizzlies outlasted the Suns 106-97. The tempo dragged the Suns into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Grizzlies' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Grizzlies' outside barrage was a constant threat. Grizzlies' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
