The Jazz have been dropping the ball more recently as they have increased their point total in each of their last three games.
Last Monday, Utah won 127-115 against the Wizards. The victory came thanks to a strong push at 9:50 of the second quarter, as the Jazz faced a 51-37 deficit.
The Jazz’s victory was a true team effort, with many players putting in strong performances. Perhaps the best of them was Jordan Clarkson, who had a double-double with 38 points and ten rebounds. In fact, this is the most points Clarkson has scored all season. Collin Sexton was another key contributor, scoring 29 points along with seven assists and two steals.
Meanwhile, Chicago didn’t have much breathing room in their game against the Kings on Monday, but they still came away with a 113-109 victory. The victory was even more dramatic because the Bulls were down 22 points with 3:28 left in the third quarter.
DeMar DeRozan and Coby White were among the Bulls’ main playmakers as the former scored 33 points with two steals and the latter scored 37 points with seven assists and five rebounds.
