Rose drive.
Allen answer. #Suns down three as Biyombo gets free for dunk.
Phoenix timeout with 2:57 left in 1st half. – 5:27 PM
Damichael Cole @DamichaelC
Early takeaway:
Without KD in the lineup, Memphis matches up well enough against the Suns for this to not be a mismatch in my opinion. Suns have a bunch of role players who aren’t necessarily great individual scorers. This game could turn into a battle of defenses – 5:25 PM
Damichael Cole @DamichaelC
Santi Aldama just jumped in the corner at a career 29% 3-pointer shooter and got Desmond Bane dunked on. – 5:23 PM
Kellan Olson @KellanOlson
Booker still on the same sub pattern so these non-Big 3 minutes in the middle of the 1st and 3rd quarters will be a challenge. Most of Memphis’ starters will still be in. – 5:22 PM
Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin
Nurkic inside power over Biyombo.
Bane answer drive over Nurkic.
Josh Okogie set to check in. #Suns down 13-8 with 6:52 left in 1st quarter. #Grizzlies – 5:18 PM
Gerald Bourguet @GeraldBourguet
Devin Booker in attack mode early without KD, he’s taken 5 of the Suns’ first 6 shots. Suns down 9-6 early – 5:15 PM
Kellan Olson @KellanOlson
Point Book stat: Booker has 197 points and 65 assists through 7 games.
He is the first Suns player to reach those two totals across a seven-game stretch since…. Stephon Marbury in 2003.

Breaking from my Thanksgiving coma just in time for this late-matinee Grizz-Suns, with Desmond Bane and without Kevin Durant. Doubt the New Grizzlies play, but Jaylen Nowell has a little scoring pop this team could use right now. – 4:51 PM

Halftime: Villanova 44, Memphis 16
Villanova was 8-19 from 3 and only turned it over twice.
Memphis shot 4-27 from the field, 1-12 from 3 and had 8 turnovers.
Tigers haven’t defended the perimeter at all. – 4:50 PM
Mark Giannotto @mgiannotto
This is going to be a memorable experience in the Bahamas, just for slightly different reasons than expected when this day began. Memphis saw what’s possible against Michigan and Arkansas. It saw what could wrong in that first half against Villanova. – 4:49 PM
Clay Bailey @claybailey9

Welcome to your post-Thanksgiving Friday NBA in-season tourney game. I am sure that @badunclep is thankful for these 3 officials calling the Suns-Grizzlies game:
Ben Taylor, Michael Smith, Intae Hwang.
If he was still in Memphis, I’m sure Unk would have invited them to dinner – 4:42 PM
Michael Scotto @MikeAScotto
Free agent forward TJ Warren is 100 percent healthy and eying an NBA return. The 30-year-old forward discussed how he can help a playoff team, the bubble, behind the scenes playing with Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and Ben Simmons on the Nets, and more.

Villanova has already hit 5 3’s in the first 6 minutes. Wildcats moving the ball and getting uncontested looks.
Villanova 16, Memphis 2 – 4:12 PM

The Suns will have to wait until Tuesday to find out their status for sure, but just in case you’re still unclear about how the NBA’s In-Season Tournament works and potential tiebreakers, we did a quick explainer video a few weeks back: youtube.com/watch?v=MPSSbs… – 4:09 PM

I covered Villanova’s Justin Moore as a HS basketball player at The Washington Post. I’ve lived in Memphis for almost 7 years. College basketball in 2023. – 4:07 PM
Geoff Calkins @geoff_calkins
Memphis football wins again. How about that? Hoops rolling, football with nine wins, soccer basking in NCAA wins — and Fred Smith gives $50 million to the program. How was your week? – 3:52 PM
Kellan Olson @KellanOlson
Suns are in an odd spot today because they will be the first potential 3-1 team competing for the wild card spot to finish group play. They don’t know what point differential could be good enough but a team like Denver playing later tonight does get that advantage. – 3:24 PM
Mark Giannotto @mgiannotto
Memphis football blows out Temple for just the 10th 9-win season in program history. Will go for 4th 10-win season in less than a decade in a bowl game (hopefully vs. P5 opponent, maybe in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl). Tigers haven’t beaten anyone great, but they have made progress – 3:18 PM
Damichael Cole @DamichaelC
Fun fact: The Memphis Grizzlies are the only team in the NBA this season with multiple players on the NBPA executive committee. One is the longest tenured players on the team, and the other was signed three weeks ago. commercialappeal.com/story/sports/n… – 2:11 PM
Gerald Bourguet @GeraldBourguet
If the Suns win today and win big, they have a decent chance of snagging the final wildcard spot out West in the NBA’s In-Season Tournament.
Here’s what has to happen for them to be eliminated: pic.twitter.com/62SCs72iPJ – 1:27 PM

ESPN’s coverage of Memphis this weekend has been rough. The 3-channel switcheroo during Memphis-Arkansas seemed totally unnecessary and detrimental to viewers. Today, whoever is calling Memphis-Temple football needs an on air fact checker. Maybe Memphis-Villanova will be better. – 1:10 PM
Damichael Cole @DamichaelC
If you include the last two games, The Grizzlies are currently in a stretch where 15 of their next 16 *scheduled games are against teams .500 or better.
*Memphis will get two additional games on Dec. 6 and 8 that will likely be against teams below .500. – 12:08 PM
