Phoenix led by as many as 29 points against Memphis before holding on, 112-110, Sunday in second of back-to-back at Footprint Center.
With the same slim advantage, Cam Johnson turned the ball over under the pressure of a trap after receiving the inbounds pass near halfcourt with 5.6 seconds left, but Dario Saric tracked the ball down to secure the two-point exhale.Finishing with 22 points and 11 assists to five turnovers in 38 minutes, the All-Star point guard was sharp after being sidelined seven games with a sore right hip. Mikal Bridges paced the Suns with 24 points.
Plenty of time for the Grizzlies to pull this one out, but the Suns answered with two huge baskets by Jock Landale inside and Bridges from 3 to go up 12 with 4:34 remaining. Two days later after a cross country flight to end a season-high six-game road trip, Paul went down with the hip injury in the first half Jan. 6 against Miami.They went from wondering why the injuries continue to add up to playing through them and rediscovering their competitive edge, especially on the defensive end.
At one point late in the first half, Morant and Brooks shot a combined 2-of-13 from the field for six total points with 2:18 left in the second quarter — and Memphis down 27.This team is too talented and prideful to just quit.
