Phoenix came out solid today, defying the predictions and notching the 107-103 upset of Memphis. "Somebody forgot to tell them they were underdogs," quipped Memphis coach Bob after the game. "No question, they were the better team out there today and deserved this win. I thought we came in prepared, but that was just a lot better than we've seen Phoenix play for some time."

Credit has to be given to Phoenix coach Bob, who brought his team together after some tough losses earlier and has them playing at their best. "Some of the us really took those losses hard," said star Moore. "But coach sat us down and showed us what we were doing wrong and what we needed to do to turn around. That was great to hear, and you saw the results today."

Phoenix was led by Moore (22 points, 16 boards, 1 assists, a steal, 2 blocks), Logan (23 points, 2 blocks), Cruz (21 points, a block). Memphis was led by Thomas (13 points, 6 boards, 0 assists, a steal, 2 blocks), Eugene (11 points, a steal), Adams (20 points, 2 assists).

Phoenix are now 21-29. They remain at #4 in the Pacific and advance to #9 overall in the Western Conference. Memphis are now 27-23 and 16-9 at home. They hold at #2 in the Southwest and stay at #6 overall in the Western Conference.
