After Action Report

In Memphis, the Suns ran roughshod over the Grizzlies 131-88. The Suns got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Suns answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Grizzlies · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Suns · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
