The suddenly surging Phoenix Suns built a 29-point lead in the first half against the Memphis Grizzlies and had a 28-point lead midway through the third quarter, but then got into foul trouble, lost their aggression and let the Grizzlies get all the way back into the game.
The Suns got Cameron Johnson and Chris Paul back from injury in this one, but were still missing a handful of players including a pair of starters in All-Star Devin Booker and Deandre Ayton, plus key reserves Landry Shamet, Cameron Payne and, missing but NEVER forgotten, Jae Crowder.
