Splish-Splash – I don’t like the nickname, but I love their games. Stephen Curry scored 27 with 10 assists and five steals and Klay Thompson added 22 with seven assists. Combined, they made 9-of-19 3-point attempts. The Raptors got 26 from DeMar DeRozan, who just might be the most one-dimensional player I’ve seen in a long time. Did I mention the Dubs were down 75-48 at one point? Wow.
MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES 110, Phoenix Suns 91
Second Half Surge – The Grizzlies outscored the Suns by 27 in the second half to run away with a victory. Jon Leuer scored 23 with nine rebounds and three blocks, with Ed Davis scoring 21 points with 12 rebounds and two blocks. The Suns got 18 from Marcus Morris and 16 from Goran Dragic, but shot a horrific 7-for-29 from three.
