After Action Report

In Phoenix, the Suns handled the Grizzlies 115-105. The better team simply showed up tonight. Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; shots just aren't falling for the Grizzlies lately. The Grizzlies looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Grizzlies · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Grizzlies · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
