SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Devin Booker scored 24 points and Phoenix reserves sparked the decisive run for the Suns in a 117-103 win over the fading Utah Jazz on Monday night.Deandre Ayton had 14 points after missing four games with a bruised hip. But a trio off the bench was pivotal for Phoenix: Terrence Ross had 13 points, Cameron Payne added 12 and Bismack Biyombo scored 11.The Suns (40-35) had lost four in a row on the road. But with this victory they sit more securely in the fourth spot in the Western Conference playoff race — which would give them home-court advantage in the first round. Lauri Markkanen scored 25 points for Utah but shot 6 for 22. Walker Kessler had 18 points and eight rebounds for the Jazz (35-40), who have lost four straight. Kessler also matched a career high with seven blocks.To get the still-injured Kevin Durant in a midseason trade, the Suns sacrificed some of their depth and have struggled at times, especially on defense, when their starters sit. But this ga...

NEW YORK – For Toni Collette, being able to play a harried, married politician in this Friday’s Prime Video series “The Power” was only part of the attraction.As the mayor, with a doctor husband (John Leguizamo) and teenage daughter, Collette, 50, witnesses a worldwide phenomenon where all teenage girls suddenly develop the power to electrocute anyone, just by releasing electric jolts from their fingertips.Usually before Collette ever says yes to a role, she explained in an in-person interview at the Four Seasons Downtown Manhattan, she needs to have a positive feeling “in my gut. It’s very strange, because it’s very clear, very apparent.”But “The Power” is a bit different. “This is an epic show. It’s quite sprawling and global. So it wasn’t just about my character.“I loved that this was an empowering story for girls and women.
