Recap: Suns unable to overcome Utah’s relentless offense, lose second straight
The Phoenix Suns have lost two consecutive times for the first time in the 2022 calendar year after losing to the Utah Jazz on Sunday afternoon, 118-114. The team is now 1-2 since the Chris Paul injury. Hampered by bench production — the team only scored 11 from their reserves — the Suns now find themselves 49-12.
First Half
This one was all Suns early, though it didn’t look like it would be after the first 12 seconds when Utah’s Rudy Gobert blocked a Deandre Ayton elbow jumper and started running in transition, but Ayton was able to secure a stop running with him.
Phoenix proceeded to go on an 8-0 run, prompting an early Quin Snyder timeout.
