The Suns and Jazz played in the finale of the Reebok Rocky Mountain ***** and wasted no time getting on the board. Each team got off and running, pushing the ball up court and getting open looks. Casey Jacobsen led the Suns attack with ten points, slashing to the hoop and hitting open jumpers. But the Jazz balanced attack helped the Jazz take the first quarter lead. Playing the whole quarter, Curtis Borchardt hit all three of his shots for six points and blocked one shot. The Jazz turned their shooting woes around from the previous night, shooting 78 percent in the quarter.
The Jazz long didn’t last long. The Suns started the second quarter on a 9-0 run. Derrick Dial led the charge, hitting a three and then going inside for two more. After a quiet first quarter, Leandro Barbosa got his game going offensively, scoring ten of his eleven first quarter points in the quarter and helping his team to a nine point lead. Utah’s Keith Waleskowski continued to play hard off the bench, chipping in four points and grabbing three boards.
Kirk Snyder came alive for the Jazz in the third quarter. The Jazz guard scored eight points and Raul Lopez added another five points, but the Jazz, despite hitting 50 percent from the field, couldn’t gain any ground on the Phoenix lead, which was pushed to 13. Barbosa’s strong play continued in the third, netting more points and dishing out three more assists; bring his game total to six.
The Suns continued to push their lead in the quarter. Behind a 14-2 run anchored by Leandro Barbosa and Arthur Johnson, the Suns’ lead increased to 21. Brett Blizzard scored five points for the Suns in the quarter, while Utah’s Kirk Snyder netted six, including a monster dunk in traffic. All-***** Leandro Barbosa led all scorers with 22 points, while Utah’s own All-***** player, Curtis Borchardt scored 12 points, nine boards, and five blocked shots.
