MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Marc Gasol scored 19 points, Mike Conley added 18 and Memphis took a big lead in the first half before coasting to a 117-96 victory over Phoenix on Saturday night, sending the Suns to their fourth straight loss.
MarShon Brooks also had 18 points, Garrett Temple added 15, and Wayne Selden 14.
Deandre Ayton, the top pick in last summer's draft, scored 24 points -- tops for his young season -- and had eight rebounds. But Ayton didn't get a lot of offensive help as the Suns played without leading scorer Devin Booker, who is nursing a left hamstring strain.
