I was a Dillon Brooks truther from Day 1. Felt he was a no-brainer pick. Nothing to do with college stats and accolades. All about how his strengths translate to the NBA. And dont think I even envisioned him being THIS good. 👀👀👀👀 – 1:22 AM Geoff Calkins @geoff_calkins

The Spurs play the Blazers tomorrow. Their last four are Nuggets, Wolves, Warriors and Mavs.
Even if the Spurs lose those last four (they’re beating Portland), the Lakers would have to win three of the following to pass them: Nuggets, at Suns, at Warriors, Thunder, at Nuggets. – 1:08 AM StatMuse @statmuse
10. Spurs 32-45 (hold tiebreaker)
11. Lakers 31-46
Spurs remaining schedule: Blazers, Nuggets, Wolves, Warriors, Mavs.

We might have our play-in teams set. Lakers lost to the Pelicans and are now a game back of the Spurs for the last play-in spot but it’s basically 2 because SA has the tiebreaker. LA’s last 5 games are against DEN, PHX, GSW, OKC and DEN again. Tough to see it. – 1:07 AM Ja Morant @JaMorant

Even though every team has a handful of poor performances each year, it was still surprising for a few reasons that one of the Suns’ came tonight: arizonasports.com/story/3092792/… – 12:14 AM Damichael Cole @DamichaelC
The Grizzlies again showed why the name on the front of the jersey is much bigger than the one on the back. Four starters missing and the Grizzlies took down the NBA-leading Phoenix Suns.

Devin Booker agreed this kind of loss can be good for a team like the Suns:
“This is what we need…I’d rather it now than later down the line.” – 11:11 PM Kellan Olson @KellanOlson
Devin Booker gave a shoutout to former Suns assistant Darko Rajakovic running things for Memphis when Jenkins got ejected. Booker still texts with Rajakovic and said he jokingly told him he knows where he got some of those offensive sets from. – 11:11 PM Gerald Bourguet @GeraldBourguet
Devin Booker said setting the franchise record was obviously on the Suns’ minds, but he doesn’t think that’s the reason for tonight’s result. Gave the Grizzlies credit for the guys they had available playing the way they did – 11:08 PM Ja Morant @JaMorant

Coach Jenkins did not want to address the ejection after the game and said he didn’t want to make this about him.
He said he was so proud of the guys and described it as an unbelievable win. “That’s Grizzlies basketball…next man up.” – 10:43 PM John Schuhmann @johnschuhmann
That super-shorthanded Grizzlies win counts as a clutch loss for the Suns, because the game was within 5 for one possession in the final minute. – 10:42 PM StatMuse @statmuse

Now is probably the time to say that two bad games in a row while welcoming guys back from injury is not cause for serious concern. If you think tonight’s effort is what we’ll see from the Suns come playoff time, you haven’t been paying attention – 10:33 PM Kellan Olson @KellanOlson
And before anyone freaks out, I count that as the fifth loss the Suns have had this year as one of those you just “flush.” That’s a rare level of consistency. Happens to everyone. – 10:32 PM Michael Lee @MrMichaelLee
The Grizzlies didn’t have five of their best players. Their coach got ejected & they just beat the team with the NBA’s best record. Light on experience. Heavy on toughness. Incredible depth. Great chemistry. Every player on the roster thinks he’s nice. Can’t be easily duplicated – 10:31 PM Phoenix Suns @Suns
pic.twitter.com/4MVzxnvsPL – 10:31 PM Kellan Olson @KellanOlson
Even with all the guys the Grizzlies had out, surprising outcome considering the last game against Memphis being a last-second loss. Figured they’d still come out with some juice because of that. Clear what happened with offensive rebounding/turnovers as the two primary issues. – 10:30 PM Mark Giannotto @mgiannotto
Kyle Anderson during the in-house postgame interview at FedExForum: “Who counted us out? I know it wasn’t anyone in this building.” – 10:29 PM Damichael Cole @DamichaelC

No Ja Morant. No Jaren Jackson Jr. No Steven Adams. No Desmond Bane. No Tyus Jones. No Killian Tillie.
And the Grizzlies just took down the NBA-best Phoenix Suns (full strength) at FedExForum. Putting the league on notice. – 10:27 PM Damichael Cole @DamichaelC
Final: Grizzlies 122 Suns 114
The Grizzlies were missing four starters and just beat a fully healthy Suns squad. Not sure what else you can say about how well coached and prepared this team is on a nightly basis. One of their top performances this season. – 10:27 PM Kevin O’Connor @KevinOConnorNBA
The Grizzlies winning tonight is unreal. No Ja. No Bane. No JJJ. No Adams. They really just beat the Suns with their backups. Memphis has won games all season without key players but this is unbelievable – 10:27 PM Memphis Grizzlies @memgrizz

He’s back out on the court right before start of 2nd half. Has ice on both knees.
