After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Suns handled the Grizzlies 109-99. Every possession went the Suns way. Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Suns owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Grizzlies looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the Suns per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Grizzlies · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
