GRIZZLIES 97 SUNS 91...GRIZZ too much for SUNS Nation as Zach Randolph dba Z-BO and on Twitter @macBO50 joins forces in the PAINT with GASOL for "A Night Out with the GRIND House BIGS"...LOGO WATCH as GRIT & GRIND Beale Street is in the Tourney #MEMvsPHX #GnG #SUNSnation

The Phoenix Suns have had a nice run and that run has come to end at least for trying to get that 7th or in this case the 8th Playoff Seed in the West. Running out of time as they lose both Head to Head Match Ups that would have put them in last Saturday Night in Big D as they get hit by "Mississippi Lightning" Monta Ellis and the Mavs G.O.A.T. @swish41. Tonight with a do or die scenario versus the Memphis Grizzlies they get hit with Kels and @macBO50 in a little "Bump and Grind".

The Suns were down 46-452 at the break and just like a Veteran Laden NBA Squad with that gritty know how the Grizz controlled the all important "Pace" and Suns Lead Man Jeff Hornacek and the Suns knew it. Phoenix did jump on their horse and get to a 67-67 tie at the end of three frames. As it was too much Mike Conley Jr. Z-Bo, Marc Gasol, the "Grind Father" Tony Allen, and Mike Miller dba "M&M Plain" that brought home the Grizz and the 8th Seed in the Playoffs. Grizz win 97-91 as the Suns have 47 wins with one more to go and will not make the Playoffs.

Z-Bo led with a game-high 32 points on 15 of 25 shooting as he torched the Interior of that velvet-like Suns "D" as he also hauled in nine Oranges. Gasol added 18 points and eight boards and do the math 50 points and 17 boards from the Grind House Bigs when the Grizz needed all of that they delivered. Miller went 5 for 6 from deep for 21 points with Conley Jr adding 14 points and seven helpers.

The Suns get a team-high 21 points from Markieff Morris with Goran Dragic an Channing Frye each adding 14 points. For some odd reason the Suns Gerald Green only played 18 plus minutes scoring just 7 points on just four shots. He is the one Suns Players that most Teams have trouble with guarding in the half court and containing him in Transition. Maybe the Suns have too many pieces as they cannot keep all three of those Guards (Green, Bledsoe, and Dragic) happy.

Now the Grizz moves on to meet the San Antonio Spurs in Round 1 in a most interesting series to say the least as all the West Match Ups are Must-See NBA "Fight for Larry" T.V..
