Word is that those realities have prompted the Suns to start assessing their post-Paul future and thus identify Charlotte’s Terry Rozier, New York’s Immanuel Quickley and Toronto’s Fred VanVleet as potential trade targets<\/a>.

\nHALFTIME: Jazz 58, Hornets 45. Fair bit of bad decision-making by Utah, but Charlotte is so toothless it doesn’t matter. Jazz 11-29 from 3 vs. 0-7 for the Hornets. Markkanen 15p\/8r. Beasley and Sexton 9p each. Rozier 13p and Williams 10p for Charlotte. – 10:06 PM<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\nIt looked like Siakam\/VanVleet would have to play 40+ minutes (again) for the Raps to have a chance. Instead, they got to rest for 9 minutes in the 4th as Barnes, Trent, Juancho, Boucher and Achiuwa took a tie game and turned it into a 16-point lead. Great stuff from that unit. – 8:22 PM<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
