SALT LAKE CITY -- Two bad minutes worked better than anything else to get the Phoenix Suns offence running. Phoenix burned a quick timeout after the Utah Jazz scored the games first nine points. It gave the Suns a chance to assess what went wrong and change course before Utah could snowball a small run into a much larger one. Phoenix turned it around with an aggressive offensive approach and put six players in double figures in a 112-101 victory over the Jazz on Friday night. "We just tried to push the ball," guard Goran Dragic said. "Tried to get to the middle of the paint and tried to find open guys. When we share the ball, were a really dangerous team." Markieff Morris came off the bench to score 23 points on 8-of-13 shooting to lead all scorers. Dragic had 19 points and nine assists, while reserve point guard Eric Bledsoe also chipped in 19. Miles Plumlee added 15 points and 10 rebounds. The Suns beat Utah for the second time this month and did it through near-perfect offensive execution for four quarters. Phoenix had no trouble getting into an offensive rhythm, shooting 41 of 75 (54.7 per cent) from the field. The Suns turned over the ball just eight times and generated 18 assists. They kept Utah at a comfortable distance for much of the game despite a strong offensive outing for the Jazz. Marvin Williams had 18 points and Alec Burks added 16 off the bench as Utah shot 48 per cent. The Jazz also had 39-30 edge on the glass. Utah outscored Phoenix 60-52 in the paint and had a 20-11 advantage in second chance points. But Phoenix shook off everything the Jazz did on the offensive end by matching them shot for shot from outside and inside. "Everybody is getting involved," Morris said. "Were getting a lot of 3-pointers. Were a great 3-point shooting team. Were doing a great job of getting the ball inside and doing the pick-and-roll really well. Thats basically it. Our guards have done a great job of finding players and getting them the ball." The Jazz made four straight baskets to open the game - culminating in a 3-pointer from Williams to make it 9-0. Phoenix regrouped after a quick timeout and the Suns quickly erased the Jazz lead behind hot shooting from Dragic. The Jazz clung to a slim lead until Dragic buried a 3-pointer to put Phoenix back in front at 44-42. It was the beginning of a 13-3 run that helped the Suns take control of the game before halftime. Morris capped the spurt with a 3-pointer, extending Phoenixs lead to 54-45 with 3:25 left before halftime. "They made shots," Jazz coach Tyrone Corbin said. "They got what they wanted. They had us spread out, they got drives and they got the ball where they wanted to in the initial part of the offence." Weak defence proved to be a huge obstacle for the Jazz through all four quarters. Phoenix shot 24-of-38 (63.2 per cent) from the field and 6-of-13 (46.2 per cent) from the perimeter in the first half alone. With the Suns getting into a good rhythm offensively, creating distance between them and the Jazz was not a difficult task. Phoenix shot 12-of-18 (66.7 per cent) from the floor in the third quarter to break the game open after halftime. The Suns attacked Utah from all over the floor and were able to immediately answer whatever the Jazz did on the offensive end. "We couldnt get stops and they did a great job of executing in the half-court and also in transition," Williams said. "They put a lot of pressure on us every time we got the ball and that was the difference." Utah drew as close as nine points when Williams hit a pair of free throws to make it 78-69 with 5:33 left in the quarter. Morris answered by running off Phoenixs next three baskets to spark a 10-0 run. Bledsoe capped off the spurt by turning a steal into an uncontested layup - giving the Suns an 88-69 lead with 2:46 remaining in the third quarter. Utah and Phoenix play again on Saturday night.

Seattle had a six-run outburst in an inning that included three Texas errors and an overturned call that led to the ejection of Rangers manager Ron Washington during the Mariners 7-1 victory Monday night. Seattle had the bases loaded in the sixth, already with four runs in, when Brad Miller hit a comebacker. Relief pitcher Pedro Figueroa threw home, and umpire Paul Schrieber initially ruled a forceout even though catcher J.P. Arencibia bobbled the ball on a transfer without dropping it or making a throw. McClendon challenged, and the call was reversed after a replay review of 3 minutes, 31 seconds. That erased the out and gave Seattle another run. "I thought it was a clear violation of the rules," McClendon said. "It was an impactful play." Asked his feeling on the transfer rule, which is being enforced more closely with expanded replay this season, the manager responded, "I wish it would all go away, but it is what it is, and we just have to deal with it." Arencibia, charged with an error, said he was off the plate before losing control of the ball. "I think thats something that baseball needs to clean up because there are a lot of plays that have happened this year that are outs and giving teams extra outs," Arencibia said. "I dont think its baseball. Outfielders who have caught the ball and run four steps after they catch it, run into the wall and turn and throw the ball in and it falls out, and automatically safe. It doesnt make sense." Roenis Elias (1-1) allowed one run and struck out five over 6 2-3 innings for his first major league victory. The left-hander, who defected from Cuba to Mexico in 2010, has a 2.16 ERA in three career starts. "I came here to make it to the big leagues. I knew I could pitch in the big leagues," Elias said through a translator. "I was throwing my pitches like I wanted. The curveball I threw today is what I normally throw." The Mariners went ahead to stay on Mike Zuninos solo homer in the fifth off Colby Lewis (0-1), who made his first big league start inn 21 months after elbow and hip operations.dddddddddddd Zunino added an RBI single in that wild sixth that started with Robinson Canos leadoff single. Cano scored on Michael Saunders triple to left-centre -- a ball that centre fielder Leonys Martin bobbled without getting charged with an error. Kyle Seager followed with an RBI single that chased Lewis, and then things got interesting. Dustin Ackley and Zunino had consecutive RBI singles after Arencibia couldnt pull in a foul ball before reaching out and teetering over a camera-well railing. Mix in two fielding errors, and the bases were loaded. Washington immediately came out to argue after the overturned call and was ejected by crew chief Ted Barrett because managers arent allowed to argue replay rulings. Washingtons ejection came a night after Boston manager John Farrell became the first big league skipper tossed under those circumstances this season. "It was obvious he caught the ball, the runner was at least 9 or 10 feet from home plate, making his move away from home plate so he dont have contact, you go to get the ball and he drops it," Washington said. "Im all for the review, but still that dont mean you have to agree with some of the calls that go on because of review." Umpires in New York confirmed the play was overturned because Arencibia never had secure possession while transferring the ball from his glove to his hand. Lewis made his first major league start since July 18, 2012, allowing four runs (three earned) over 5 1-3 innings. He struck out four and walked one. The 34-year-old Lewis had right hip resurfacing surgery last August. He is the first known major league pitcher to come back after the procedure to remove bone spurs without a full hip replacement. "Id like to thank the Texas Rangers and the organization for giving me an opportunity tonight. It wouldnt have meant as much for me to get back out there without having this uniform on," Lewis said. "Overall, I felt great. Everything was really, really good." NOTES: Seattle had gone 21 consecutive innings without a run before Zuninos third homer. ... Texas scored a single run for the third time in four games -- the others were 1-0 victories over Houston. ' ' '
