Suns Control Game, Defeat Jazz

PHOENIX -- The Phoenix Suns (18-19) took down the Utah Jazz (9-28) in wire-to-wire fashion on Saturday afternoon by a score of 114-106 in front of yet another sellout crowd at Footprint Center.

The Jazz came into this game short-handed, missing three key players, while Phoenix continued to only be without Royce O'Neale.

As for who started the game - head coach Mike Budenholzer continued to roll with the same five that have become fixtures since earlier this week.

Phoenix jumped off to a quick start - to the point of going up by double digits - but Utah tightened the gap as the first quarter progressed.

Phoenix took a 31-27 lead after 12 minutes of action.

Utah tied the game at 31 early in the second frame, but another three-point hit from Devin Booker jumpstarted another run from Phoenix - aas they took a 52-38 lead into the final five minutes of the half.

The Suns maintained a steady lead before a Collin Sexton and-one trimmed Utah's deficit to 65-54 going into the locker room.

The Suns shook off a slow start to the third frame and eventually finished the quarter ahead by a score of 87-79.

The Suns are playing the Charlotte Hornets tomorrow night to close out the season series between the two franchises.
