Seeing his team starting to form a consistent run of games and winning three of the last four, Phoenix Suns head coach Mike Budenholzer was proud of the effort in the 114-106 victory over the Utah Jazz.

Besides the third quarter, the Suns had control through a majority of the game while the Jazz were trying to come back.

Devin Booker led all players with 34 points, Kevin Durant posted 25 and Grayson Allen added 14 in Phoenix’s second-straight win. The Suns shot 44-for-86 (51.2%) from the field and 13-for-37 (35.1%).

Budenholzer spoke on how he thought there were stretches where the team could have extended the lead further, Jusuf Nurkić not playing for a second consecutive game, liking what he saw from rookie Oso Ighodaro, how Booker and Durant are capable of anything and more.
