After Action Report

The Suns took care of the Grizzlies 133-116. The tempo dragged the Grizzlies into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Suns pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Grizzlies · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
