Everything was looking up for the Phoenix Suns entering last night’s game against the Memphis Grizzlies. They had just bounced back from a loss in a dominant fashion over the Miami Heat to get their fifth win in six games, and the team announced Kevin Durant would be available for the matchup just an hour before tip-off after he missed the last three games due to right hamstring soreness.
Facing off against a Grizzlies team missing Ja Morant and in only the fourth full game played with the team’s Big 3, Phoenix got off to a hot start, then let Memphis back into it in the first half before ending the half strong.
