Grizzlies 104, Suns 99: Mike Conley matched his career high with 31 points and Zach Randolph collected 20 points, 13 rebounds and seven assists as Memphis rallied past visiting Phoenix.

Ed Davis added 10 points and 17 boards off the bench and Mike Miller scored 11 points for the Grizzlies, who have won all three meetings with the Suns this season. Memphis held a huge edge inside, outrebounding Phoenix 53-44 and outscoring the Suns 52-32 in the paint.

Phoenix trailed only once in the first three quarters -- at 8-7 -- but could never gain much separation. The Suns led by as many as 10 in the first quarter before Memphis reeled off a 10-2 spurt and kept it within single digits the rest of the way.

The Grizzlies trailed by six early in the fourth quarter but moved ahead for good on Conley's 3-pointer with 2:43 left. James Johnson also nailed a late 3 to preserve the lead and Memphis made eight straight free throws in the final 1:17 to seal it.

GAME NOTEBOOK: Suns G Eric Bledsoe (18 points, 5.8 assists) had surgery to repair the torn meniscus in his right knee Friday and will be out indefinitely. … Neither team committed a turnover in the first quarter and each had only three at halftime. … Memphis G Tony Allen (hand) missed his third straight game.
