After Action Report
The Suns snuck past the Grizzlies 109-107. The tempo dragged the Grizzlies into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Suns owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Suns' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
