Unconsciously, the Jazz's starting center missed the team's 5 games, and the team fell into a wave of 4 consecutive losses. Once again, Gobert was the key to their win, and he deserved a big five-year, $205 million contract. However, after losing consecutive games, Gobert finally ushered in a return, and the Jazz finally returned a bit of face in the process of challenging the Denver Nuggets on the road, once again playing the momentum of their Western Conference strength.
Facing Jokic, who was just crowned MVP honor last season, the away Jazz achieved a feat of domination in the first quarter of the competition. At the beginning of the game, Bojan was able to deliver 9 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal with an efficient output of 6 shots and 4 shots, and Gobert also sent 6 points and 3 rebounds with 100% shooting rate of 3 shots, helping the team to play a 37-33 score and get a 4-point lead. The opening game took a lead, and the Jazz, who entered the second quarter, were able to follow the trend and continue to widen the point difference between the two teams.
Mitchell returned to form, shooting 3-of-5 and 3-of-3 from the free throw line in the second quarter, sending a full statistic of 11 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists, while Gobert could also break out, sending 5 points and 6 rebounds to help the team play a 31-25 single-quarter score and regain a 6-point lead. At the end of the first half, the Jazz have scored 68-58, leading the Nuggets by a crucial 10 points! The point difference between the two teams has been widened one after another, and the Nuggets, who are easy to fight again, can also fight back strongly.
In the third quarter of the competition, Jokic played a full 12 minutes of playing time, sent a comprehensive statistic of 5 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal, led the players in the team to play a full-fledged state, and recovered the 7 points behind in the first half with a 30-23 single quarter score. By the time they reached the crucial final quarter, the point difference between the two sides had been narrowed to 3 points. But after entering the regular showdown in the fourth quarter, the Jazz did not give the Nuggets a chance, and played a 34-14 single-quarter score with a single-quarter score, and won the game with an aggregate score of 125-102.
After winning the game, the Jazz finally came out of the haze of four consecutive losses. It is undeniable that the big victory that can complete 23 points has to be said to gobert, who has just returned from the team. In the 35 minutes of the game, he shot 100% of the 7-of-7 and got a luxurious stat of 18 points and 19 rebounds, making a huge contribution on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends. There is also the star Mitchell, who also has a comprehensive stat of 31 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, and Bojan, who handed over 21 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists, and their contribution is not small.
Seeing the Nuggets side of the final quarter collapse and loss, the star Jokic also sent a luxurious triple-double of 25 points, 15 rebounds and 14 assists with an efficient output of 18 shots in the 37 minutes of playing, but in the end he was helpless to enter the empty cutting group, which was a pity. Not only Jokic, Aaron Gordon's performance is also comprehensive, sending 20 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists. Rough analysis, the reason why the Nuggets will collapse in the final quarter is that the strength of their role players is lacking, and they cannot give the team the starting core time to breathe.
