PHOENIX, Ariz. – Utah Jazz forward Joe Ingles was red hot in the second quarter of his team’s game against the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday.
In the second period alone, Ingles went a perfect 5-for-5 from the field with four 3-pointers made for a total of 15 points. He had 17 points at halftime.
The game was bit of a milestone for Ingles as it as his 300th consecutive game played, a mark that leads all active NBA players.

The Jazz were playing shorthanded due to a bevy of injuries. Due to this, Ingles often found himself playing alongside teammates that he hadn’t played with much this season. It didn’t matter as Ingles took control and helped the Jazz come back from a 13-point deficit to take a three point lead at halftime.
Utah was also boosted by a strong first half from rookie Grayson Allen, who had 10 points at the halftime break.
