After Action Report
The Grizzlies blew the doors off the Suns 136-89. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Grizzlies cashed in. Fresh off a statement win, the Grizzlies stayed locked in; second-chance points piled up for the Suns. The Grizzlies locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Suns utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It was over by halftime.
