The Grizzlies squeaked past the Suns 101-100. Ugly basketball, but the Grizzlies did just enough. The Grizzlies played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Grizzlies' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Grizzlies bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Grizzlies per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
