TEMPE, Ariz. — The Salt Lake City Stars (4-5), the official NBA G League affiliate of the Utah Jazz, fell to the Valley Suns (6-3) (Phoenix Suns affiliate), 119-101, Monday night at Mullett Arena.



For the first time this season, forward Taevion Kinsey led Salt Lake City in scoring, earning a game-high 23 points (9-of-12 FG), to go along with five rebounds, two assists and one steal. Utah Jazz assignment player Cody Williams tallied 17 points, while grabbing five rebounds and serving two assists in his second game for the Stars. Jazz two-way Oscar Tshiebwe posted his eighth double-double of the season with a game-high 18 boards paired with 10 points.



The first quarter began as a back-and-forth battle between the Stars and newly added Valley Suns, with nine lead changes and 10 ties. Despite shooting 50.0% from the field, Salt Lake City ended the first frame trailing, 26-22.
