Playing against a Memphis Grizzlies team that was without their best player, Ja Morant, the Phoenix Suns faced yet another 4th quarter collapse, leading them to end the homestand with a 121-115 loss.
In the 4th quarter, the Grizzlies erupted for an early 19-5 run to erase a double-digit deficit. They ended up beating Phoenix 35-18 in the final 12 minutes.
However, the Sun’s problems did not just all of a sudden appear out of the shadows in the 4th quarter. All night, it was apparent that they were not on their A game. Key players were missing wide-open looks, there were too many defensive miscues, and offensive rebounds seemed impossible to grab.
