Rapid Recap: Suns struggle, eventually beat short-handed Jazz, 115-109
The Phoenix Suns played dramatically uninspired basketball for three quarters, giving life to an incredibly short-handed Utah Jazz team missing all of their starters and their top backup.
Utah’s Trent Forrest made 7 of his first 8 shots to lead the team most of the night with 17 points, but he wasn’t alone. The Jazz had a very Suns-like seven different players score 10+ points as 8 of their 9 players scored at least 6.
The Suns were not getting such help up and down the rotation. Devin Booker scored 33 points in the first three quarters to keep the Suns alive, and Chris Paul scored a gobton in the 4th to put the Suns up 11 with just three minutes to go.
