Svi Mykhailuk scored 14 points and Ace Bailey<\/a> had all of his 13 points in the second half. Kennedy Chandler<\/a> had 11 points and eight assists for Utah.<\/p>\n

The Suns used a 21-2 run in the first quarter to open up a 37-17 lead. Green had 11 points in the quarter, making three of Phoenix\u2019s eight 3-pointers in the period.<\/p>\n

Phoenix posted its biggest halftime lead of the season at 73-45, led by Green’s 20 points.<\/p>\n

Sensabaugh (19 points) and Filipowski (17) had all but nine of Utah\u2019s first-half points. The Jazz had 10 assists and 10 turnovers before halftime.<\/p>\n

Utah is without regulars Lauri Markkanen<\/a> (hip), Isaiah Collier<\/a> (hamstring) and Keyonte George<\/a> (leg). Already out for the season are Walker Kessler<\/a> (shoulder) and Jaren Jackson (left knee).<\/p>\n

Suns coach Jordan Ott said before the game that starters Dillon Brooks<\/a> (broken hand) and Mark Williams<\/a> (broken foot) have competed in 5-on-5 drills and could return during the Suns\u2019 upcoming four-game road swing.<\/p>\n
