 PHOENIX (AP) - The Memphis Grizzlies got rough with the Phoenix Suns in Game 2, and it almost worked. The Suns erased a five-point deficit with a 14-4 over the final 4:04 to beat the Grizzlies 108-103 on Wednesday night and take a 2-0 lead in their best-of-seven first-round series. Game 3 is Friday night in Memphis.
Amare Stoudemire, who scored just nine points in the series opener, had 34 points and 10 rebounds, including 18-of-22 shooting at the foul line. The physical Grizzlies sent Phoenix to the line 40 times, and the Suns made 32 of them.
Shawn Marion, playing with a sprained right wrist, added 22 points for Phoenix, including a pair of 15-footers that tied the game, then put Phoenix ahead for good. He also grabbed 13 rebounds.
