The Utah Jazz (13-9) are hosting the Phoenix Suns (6-14) tonight, but it's not going to be easy. Phoenix was embarrassed in their last game and have had two nights off to think about it. Utah played last night, and this will be the second game in a back-to-back set and a third game in four nights. Quin Snyder will be back, but Earl Watson knows this building very well and how to control the glass to win games. He has some line-ups that can do just that this season. One thing Phoenix doesn't have is Gordon Hayward. It's going to be a team game to win or lose, but really, it's Gordon going up against the very sun tonight, in an attempt to eclipse it.
