Devin Booker scored 36 points in the first three quarters, and Jalen Green added 21 points and six rebounds as the Phoenix Suns cruised to a 131-105 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday night.

Booker made 16 of 24 shots and finished with five assists, while Green shot 9-of-18 from the field. The Suns (42-33) won their second straight game, finishing strong with a 40-16 run in the final quarter. Phoenix also hit 17 three-pointers and dominated the paint, scoring 68 points inside.

For Memphis (25-50), Tyler Burton came off the bench to score 17 points. Cam Spencer added 16 points on 6-of-9 shooting, including 4-of-5 from three-point range, while GG Jackson and Jahmai Mashack contributed 14 points each. Despite shooting 50.7%, the Grizzlies were plagued by 23 turnovers that led to 28 points for Phoenix.

Memphis, dealing with an injury-plagued season, fielded its 41st different starting lineup in 75 games. The Grizzlies had snapped a five-game losing streak with a win over the Chicago Bulls on Saturday but have lost 14 of their last 16 games.

Jackson tied the game at 91-91 with a driving baseline dunk to start the fourth quarter, but Phoenix responded with an 11-0 run to pull away. The Suns opened the quarter on a 19-4 run for a 110-95 lead. Connor Gillespie ended the run with a three-pointer and added two more in the next three minutes, giving Phoenix a 118-100 advantage with 4:24 remaining.

The third quarter featured six lead changes in a tightly contested game. Phoenix led by eight early, but Memphis surged to a 86-80 lead with 4:02 remaining after a driving layup by Burton. Booker scored 13 points in the quarter, including a deep 3-pointer at the buzzer to give Phoenix a 91-89 lead.

At halftime, Phoenix led 65-61 behind 23 points from Booker and 19 from Green, while Memphis stayed close thanks to 57.5% shooting in the opening half.
