After Action Report
The Suns outlasted the Grizzlies 125-116. The Suns got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Suns played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Suns bent the defense out of shape from deep. Early returns: the Suns per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
