Heading into their Friday night showdown with the Phoenix Suns, the Utah Jazz were 3-0 and on the cusp of getting into the Summer League playoffs. They were one of the few undefeated teams left in the tournament but a loss would put in doubt whatever potential they had to get to the playoffs and close out a successful summer.
The Jazz ended up falling behind on Friday, with the Suns taking a slight lead heading into the fourth quarter of their pivotal matchup with Utah, but despite being down heading into the fourth and not having any of their three rookies for the game, the Jazz were able to mount the win and take down the Suns 97-93.
