Will Hardy: Our defense let us down in the 4Q — didn’t get a stop the first 11 minutes, didn’t rebound the ball, didn’t execute on the final possession. I take responsibility for that; obviously didn’t communicate well. Wanted to get the ball out of Booker’s hands and then foul. – 11:35 PM

Asked Monty Williams about Jock Landale’s 4Q impact, and he joked that he was a “hypocrite” for talking pregame about how tough it is to find minutes for everyone and then playing him again tonight. Said the Suns needed someone to finish in PNR outside of DA – 11:34 PM

Will Hardy says Jazz wanted to get the ball out of Booker’s hands and then foul on the final play, but clearly something was missed in communication. – 11:32 PM
![Steve Luhm](https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1474244217232707586/kOWbqoEu_normal.jpg)
Suns played it smart but coaching error by Hardy. Can’t let a team with a 1-point lead and inbounding with 26 seconds left run the shot clock all the way down. Even if they miss, there’s no time left, especially with a long rebound. Have to quickly foul, lengthen the game. – 11:31 PM

“DA was just a monster.”
Monty Williams says it says a lot about Deandre Ayton’s conditioning to have performances like that in back-to-back games. The Suns let him bring in the final huddle tonight – 11:28 PM
![Kellan Olson](https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1419160813193945091/fsdA5_57_normal.jpg)
Monty Williams said Deandre Ayton has been coming to the gym at “crazy hours” to lift and have his body ready for stretches like this. – 11:28 PM

Monty Williams on the Suns in a tight game tonight: “It’s not plays, it’s not schemes. It’s just will. We’ve been in these situations before, but we’re building a bit of a base with the guys that are new.” – 11:27 PM

Devin Booker really shot 8-for-27 and the Suns still won. Again, it’s scary what this team can be when Deandre Ayton plays like that – 11:24 PM

FINAL: Suns 113, Jazz 112. Interesting choice by the Suns to foul, perhaps a more interesting gamble by Hardy not to. Four straight losses, now 12-10 on the season. JC 22/5/5; Sexton 20/5a; Markkanen 15/10r; Beasley 14/5r/4a. Jazz home Monday vs. Chicago. – 11:20 PM

Jazz down 1, Suns have the ball, 26 seconds left, 24 seconds on shot clock.
Jazz elect not to foul.
You’ll never guess what happened next. – 11:19 PM

The Game is over. The Jazz lose to the Suns 113-112…..the Jazz fall to 12-10 on the season and have lost four straight. Great game, the Jazz played well overall but just couldn’t get a defensive rebound down the stretch. That just killed them. Home against Chicago Monday night – 11:19 PM
![Andy Larsen](https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/992277654089826304/1JxJvFlG_normal.jpg)
Game over, Jazz lose 113-112.
That’s a biiiiig decision there by Hardy not to foul at the end of the game… did not work out.
Clarkson leads Jazz with 22, Sexton had 20.
Jazz back home vs. Chicago on Monday. – 11:18 PM
![Ben Anderson](https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1530934673487953920/IC17mNnn_normal.jpg)
Also, 2.5 seconds isn’t enough time IMO to try to force a Suns miss then get a rebound (which they hadn’t all fourth quarter) get a timeout, and get a play on the other end. – 11:18 PM

Yeah, not sure why the Jazz didn’t foul there. There just wasn’t enough time. – 11:17 PM

I like taking threes late in games like Phoenix just did when the shot clock and game clock are close.
Milks extra time off the clock.
That’s good coaching from Monty Williams. – 11:17 PM

Clock runs out but the officials are reviewing to see if an Olynyk foul happened before the expiration of the game. – 11:17 PM

There was just no way there was enough time to play that possession out. The Jazz needed to foul – 11:17 PM
![Gerald Bourguet](https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1435980077724962820/k6oaNdMT_normal.jpg)
And of course it was another Deandre Ayton offensive rebound to seal it – 11:17 PM
![Andy Larsen](https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/992277654089826304/1JxJvFlG_normal.jpg)
Jazz decide not to foul down 1 with a 2.5 sec differential. Booker shot at the last second, then rebound was tipped. Olynyk fouled on the rebound, and we’ll see if it was before or after the game is over. – 11:17 PM
![Kellan Olson](https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1419160813193945091/fsdA5_57_normal.jpg)
Jazz not fouling there is crazy.
Deandre Ayton grabs his 20th rebound at the buzzer but there’s a whistle so he might take free throws here. They are reviewing it. – 11:16 PM

Intentional foul by the Suns to start the foul game. Verrrry interesting choice. – 11:15 PM

Suns foul intentionally up 3. Clarkson makes both FTs to pull the Jazz within 1. Suns ball with 26 seconds left – 11:15 PM
![Andy Larsen](https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/992277654089826304/1JxJvFlG_normal.jpg)
Game reset: Suns just fouled Clarkson, but Jazz aren’t in the bonus. So Jazz will have ball, 27.5 secs left, 15 on shot clock, down 113-110. – 11:13 PM

Deandre Ayton with a huge offensive rebound and then a steal. He’s been terrific tonight – 11:13 PM
