The Phoenix Suns went into halftime leading by seven Friday in Memphis. The Grizzlies closed the gap and the two teams entered the fourth period at 74-74, but the Suns took the lead early in the final quarter and didn’t let up — that is, until Memphis point guard Mike Conley hit a 3-pointer to break an 88-88 tie with 3:31 left in the game.
