The Phoenix Suns dominated the Memphis Grizzlies 117–98 on January 7 at FedExForum, cruising to a decisive 19-point victory behind elite ball movement and three-point shooting. Devin Brooks led Phoenix with 21 points while Grayson Allen added 19, as the Suns shot 46.4% from the field and buried 22 three-pointers to overwhelm Memphis's defense. Phoenix's offensive rating of 115.2 paired with a stifling defensive rating of 96.9 underscored their control throughout; the Suns' 31 assists and 11 steals reflected crisp execution and perimeter intensity. Memphis managed just 98 points on 42.4% shooting, with J. Jackson Jr. scoring 19 and C. Spencer adding 14, but the Grizzlies' 47 rebounds and 23 assists couldn't compensate for a turnover-plagued game (18 turnovers) and a 115.2 defensive rating. Phoenix's second quarter proved decisive—35 points in that frame set the tone—while Memphis's fourth-quarter surge (30 points) came too late. The final tally fell well short of the 231.5 Vegas total, suggesting both teams' defensive adjustments. The Suns' balanced attack and three-point barrage positions them strongly in the Western Conference playoff race.
