The Suns blew the doors off the Grizzlies 146-98. The breakneck pace played right into Suns' hands. Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Suns owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. Grizzlies' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
