This game did not go well, and it got out of hand immediately. A disturbing trend of trailing by 25 or more points in a game continued tonight for the Suns.
Also, we saw Donovan Mitchell let out his frustrations against Phoenix. He ended up with 40 points on only 19 shot attempts (14-19, 7-9 on 3s). Utah’s starting lineup combined for 92 points while the Suns’ combined for only 46.
This game was as ugly as it looked. Dave and I recapped it for you below.
The Jazz (22-28) are back to (mostly) full strength with Rudy Gobert at center, with Joe Ingles, Derrick Favors, Donovan Mitchell and Ricky Rubio.
