Jordan Clarkson, who was expelled from the game because of malicious “Batou” foul in the previous game, played the role of saviour in the face of the Eastern Knights at home today. At the end of the fourth quarter, he played a 9-0 attack with one hand, leading the Jazz to directly reverse the game, and took the knight away with 116-114 gas, which also left a regret for Donovan Mitchell, who “returned to his home”.
Clarkson made 11 of 19 shots, including 5 3-pointers, scored 32 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, and broke 30 points for the third time this season. His personal show at the last half minute of the fourth quarter froze the knight who had previously scored five points ahead of him, and gave up his victory. Help the Jazz stop the dilemma of losing 7 in the recent 8 games.
Mitchell, who returned to Salt Lake City for the first time after last year’s trade, had a special tribute film broadcast by the Jazz before the game, and the fans at the scene also stood up to warmly welcome his return. In this familiar field, Mitchell fired all the shots, made 14 of 27 shots, including 7 3-pointers and 11 free throws, and scored 46 points, 6 assists, 5 rebounds and 3 intercepts. This is his fifth break of 40 points this season, and the single score is only less than 71 points.
Mitchell scored 17 points in the fourth quarter, and formed a double-shot duel with Clarkson, who scored 15 points in the single quarter, which once allowed the knight to take the lead; However, in the final stage of the game, Mitchell failed to try the three-point outer line for three consecutive times, and the Cavaliers also lost the chance to catch up with the score.
In addition to Clarkson’s high points, Lauri Markkanen made only 6 of 18 shots against his former team, but still scored 25 points and 16 rebounds with the advantage of 12 of 14 free throws; Mike Conley scored 13 points and 4 assists, Malik Beasley scored 13 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, and Nickell Alexander Walker scored 13 points
