For the second straight game, the Stars were led by longtime NBA guard Isaiah Thomas. After netting 40 points in Tuesday’s matchup against the Suns, Thomas responded with a team-high 30-point (11-of-20 FG) performance, recording four assists and three rebounds. Utah Jazz two-way guard Elijah Harkless recorded a 20-point (9-for-20 FG), 13-rebound, double-double in his first G League game since returning from an extended stint with the Utah Jazz. Stars rookie&nbsp;Jaylan Gainey was the team’s defensive anchor in the contest, holding down the paint with a season-high five blocks.



Salt Lake City opened the game with all cylinders firing, closing the first frame shooting 62.5% from the field paced by forward Keshawn Justice, who netted eight points and went a perfect 2-of-2 from downtown. The Stars would enter the second ahead by 12, 38-26.



The Valley Suns fought their way back into the contest during the opening minutes of the second quarter, tying the game (53-53) with 4:36 remaining in the half. From there, the duo of Harkless and Thomas took over, helping Salt Lake City finish the half on a 17-4 scoring run and take a 71-58 lead into the break.



After the&nbsp;intermission, Salt Lake City continued their dominant offensive showing, extending their lead to 21 (94-73) before&nbsp;ending the quarter with their largest lead of the game (26 points), shooting a combined 58.3% from the field while holding the Suns to a 37.5% shooting mark in the frame.



The Stars lead remained intact throughout the fourth, as Salt Lake City emerged victorious, defeating the Suns, 132-113.



The Suns were led by two-way guard TyTy Washington Jr. who finished with a game-high 31 points (13-of-27 FG), 11 assists, and three rebounds.
