Jerry SloanPHOENIX -- The Suns took care of business against a shorthanded Jazz team on Friday, and led by as many as 21 points on the way to an easier-than-expected 110-100 victory. It was an important one for Phoenix, as they closed the gap on Utah to just a single game for the fourth spot in the Western Conference playoff race, and with the win, the Suns now have a chance to split the season series with the Jazz if they can pick up a W when the teams meet on the final day of the regular season.

Utah came into this one without Andrei Kirilenko, who sat out with a strained calf, and lost Mehmet Okur to a "possible stomach virus" after just 12 minutes of play in the first half. The absence of Utah's primary front court players paved the way for a dominant performance from Amar'e Stoudemire, who put up a season high of 44 points on 14-of-16 shooting.
