After Action Report
In Memphis, the Suns snuck past the Grizzlies 96-93. The Suns won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Suns steamroller is in full effect right now; Suns' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
