crazy shotmaking from the Jazz down the stretch. As K-Ray alluded to, Suns gave ’em good looks early and allowed the confidence to get going. – 11:22 PM

Use-it-or-lose-it timeout from PHX, Jazz up 128-126. First of all: what a game.
Second, Booker’s really cooled in the last few minutes, missed his last three shots. Markkanen yet to score in the 4Q. Vanderbilt is 4 points, 2 assists away from the triple double. – 11:14 PM

Bennedict Mathurin kept the Pacers from entering the Rockets’ record book with four points to end the quarter. Still, the 10 points the Rockets allowed is the fewest they gave up in an opening quarter since holding Hawks to 10 January 10, 2014. – 8:42 PM

“He’s not ready to play the way he feels he needs to be. We feel he’s still not there yet. Chris wants to be out there. You may see him shooting, but there’s a ton more to it than just getting up shots. There are other check marks.” Monty Williams on Chris Paul (heel) #Suns pic.twitter.com/IxjmOp8NE9 – 7:45 PM
