The officials assigned to call the Phoenix Suns-Utah Jazz preseason game Wednesday night could probably use an oxygen tank from all the times they had to blow their whistles at Vivint Smart Home Arena.

Fans got their money's worth if what they wanted to see was an abundance of free throws and foul calls, and the home team blowing a 30-point lead.

The Suns and Jazz combined to shoot 80-of-106 at the free-throw line, which came as a result of a staggering 79 personal fouls.

Phoenix walked away with the victory when it was all said and done, eking out a narrow 111-110 win and completing the comeback.

"The Stifle Tower" Rudy Gobert got to the line the most of all active players, connecting on 11-of-15 attempts as he continues to show significant improvement in that facet of his game.

The officials probably could have taken it easy in such a meaningless game. Well, so much for that.
