Locked On Suns - Daily Podcast On The Phoenix Suns

With huge performances from their top three players, the Suns outmatched the Utah Jazz, 117-113, at home on Wednesday night to take the season series against Utah and move closer to the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference. We revisit Deandre Ayton's continued poise and aggressiveness, Cam Johnson stepping up, and why it was so important to see Devin Booker and Chris Paul come together to close out the win.
