The Phoenix Suns dominated the Utah Jazz 134–109 on March 28 at Footprint Center, with J. Green leading the way on 31 points and D. Booker adding 26 in a decisive home victory. Phoenix's offensive efficiency proved decisive, shooting 50% from the field while connecting on 17 three-pointers and maintaining a 128.5 offensive rating against Utah's 105.5. The Suns controlled the glass with 60 rebounds to Utah's 42 and limited turnovers to just 12 compared to the Jazz's 14. Utah's K. Filipowski and B. Sensabaugh each scored 26 points, but the Jazz's third-quarter surge—38 points in the period—came too late to overcome Phoenix's early dominance, particularly the opening frame where the Suns scored 39 points. The game finished well below the Vegas total of 232.5, reflecting Phoenix's defensive intensity with a 105.5 defensive rating. This victory underscores the Suns' playoff positioning as a Western Conference contender.
