In Episode 651 of The Valley Verdict, we examine the Phoenix Suns' path to the postseason following a dominant 134-109 win over the Utah Jazz. We analyze the "Connectivity" of the roster and hear from Jalen Green and Coach Jordan Ott. Then, we react to the big question posed by Wolf and Luke: Can the Phoenix Suns finish strong?
