The Memphis Grizzlies ( 41 - 30 ) defeated the Phoenix Suns ( 19 - 51 ) 103 - 97 at Talking Stick Arena on Monday . The Grizzlies are banged up , but they are still finding ways to pull out tough victories and hold on to the 5 - seed in the Western Conference . The Suns would normally be an easy matchup for the physical Memphis style of play , but it took the backcourt some time to get warm before eventually closing out the game late in the fourth quarter . Phoenix was ahead for most of the first half , and extended a lead into double figures midway through the second quarter , however , they were unable to hold onto their lead with the game tied with under one minute remaining in regulation . Lance Stephenson put back a missed layup to take a two point lead , and the Grizzlies did the rest of their damage from the free throw line to close out . The Grizzlies recently signed Jordan Farmar to a 10 day contract , and the signing looked to be a positive one after Farmar saw 22 minutes off the bench and added 12 points on 4 - of - 8 shooting , including two clutch free throws down the stretch . Ray McCallum continues to see starting minutes , and although his shot selection was iffy ( nine points on 3 - of - 10 shooting ) , he did complete seven assists and add two steals . Zach Randolph has become the go - to scorer for Memphis , and continued to be a monster on the glass , as he finished with 14 points and 13 rebounds . The aforementioned Stephenson led all Grizzlies scorers with 16 points . The Suns are amongst the bottom four teams in the league and will towards a lottery pick in the draft , but they played a spirited game , one which they were in control to win up until the final two minutes of play . Devin Booker and Brandon Knight continued their volume shooting , but they were far from efficient , as they combined for 31 points on 9 - of - 30 shooting . Turnovers proved to be the difference maker in the fourth quarter , where the Suns added two miscues in crunch time . Phoenix suffered another setback after Tyson Chandler ( back ) left Monday 's game with back spasms after logging two points and one rebound in 13 minutes of action . Both teams face the Los Angeles Lakers ( 14 - 55 ) next , as the Grizzlies visit Staples Center on Tuesday , while the Suns host Kobe Bryant and company on Wednesday .
