After Action Report

The Suns stunned the Grizzlies 109-102. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Suns came in with something to prove after a loss; Grizzlies' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.

What tipped it

  • Suns · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Grizzlies · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Grizzlies · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Grizzlies · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Grizzlies · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
