Because Arizona skips daylight saving, for the summer half of the year Phoenix and Tucson match California's Pacific clock rather than their Mountain-time neighbours.
Arizona stays on UTC-7 all year and does not change its clocks for daylight saving time. Arizona does not observe daylight saving time (the Navajo Nation does).
