The Jazz beat the Clippers 124-103 today to make an eight-game winning streak and end the Clippers' four-game winning streak.
Leonard and George have missed the last few games, so it's normal for the Jazz to beat the Clippers, but it's not easy for the Clippers to make four straight wins.
In today's game, Mitchell played 32 minutes, shooting 10-of-15 from the field and having 27 points and six assists. In the past 8 games, Mitchell has averaged 29.1 points and 5.3 assists per game, shooting 55.4%, 43.2% and 90% of the three shots, which is naturally the biggest contributor to the eight-game winning streak.
Not only did the Jazz make a wave of eight straight wins, they had also won 12 of their last 14 games. After today's game, the Jazz also won their 20th win of the season, and the record became 20-7, continuing to rank third in the West. After eight consecutive wins, the gap between the Jazz and the Warriors and the Suns is also narrowing, and they are currently only 2 wins behind the Suns and 2.5 wins behind the Warriors.
Although the Warriors and the Suns are the two best teams in the league, the Jazz should not be underestimated, after all, they were the first in the league last season. This season, the Jazz still have hope of taking first place in the league, and they also have the hope of surpassing the Warriors and the Suns.
In recent times, the Warriors and the Suns have had their record ups and downs, the Warriors have lost 3 of their last 8 games, the Suns have lost 2 of their past 5 games, and the Jazz have won 8 consecutive wins, so the gap between them and the Warriors and the Suns has been narrowing. At the current momentum, the Jazz do have the potential to take their place and rise to number one in the West.
Last season, the Jazz have proven themselves, at least in the regular season, they are one of the strongest teams in the league. This season, the Jazz are also expected to play the league's first record again.
