One of the biggest surprises of the year in the NBA has to be the Memphis Grizzlies who owned the second-best record in the NBA (54-23) heading into Thursday night's matchup with the NBA-best Phoenix Suns (62-14). Even more surprising than their .701 winning percentage was their 19-2 record without all-star guard Ja Morant. Make that 20-2. Playing extremely short-handed, the Grizzlies stole one from the Suns 122-114 despite 41 points from Devin Booker.
