Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant, Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. (13), and center Zach Edey reach for the ball in the second half of an NBA basketball game, Tuesday,

Jaren Jackson Jr. and the Memphis Grizzlies host Devin Booker and the Phoenix Suns in Western Conference play. The Grizzlies are 20-14 in Western Conference games. Memphis ranks second in the NBA with 13.

Jaren Jackson Jr.'s 'Achilles heel' has become a gigantic problem for the Grizzlies against the NBA's elite teams.

A back and forth battle between the Memphis Grizzlies and Phoenix Suns needed more than four quarters for a result. Memphis star Jaren Jackson Jr. was dominating on Tuesday night, but he fouled out in the fourth quarter.

Instant takeaway: Phoenix wasted a season-high performance from 3 with another poor defensive effort. The Suns shot 53.5% from the field, going 21-of-37 from 3 (56.8%), but still lost because of their inability to contain the dribble and defend the 3.

There will always be a few losses that stick out each season no matter how good or bad a team is and Tuesday's 151-148 Phoenix Suns defeat in overtime against the Memphis Grizzlies will be up there for many.
