On January 27, Beijing time, a focus battle in the NBA regular season, the Phoenix Suns challenged the Utah Jazz away. At the end of the half, the Suns led 50-48. Just looking at this score, I don't know and think the situation is very glue, in fact, the two teams explode each other, crazy ride on the roller coaster.
In terms of personnel integrity, the Suns are far superior to their opponents, after all, Chris Paul and Devon Booker are all there. On the Jazz side, the two core Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert are all absent, what to compete with the league first? In the first quarter, the Suns exploded, with a single quarter of 39 points + a net win of 21 points, and Booker alone bombed 21 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, which was brighter than the Jazz's entire team statistics.
But Booker couldn't have been on the court all the time, and he needed to rest, so in the second quarter, the Jazz launched a fierce counterattack. Originally, Monty Williams did not take it seriously, after all, the safety cushion was thick enough. But after the middle, it was different, the Suns felt the crisis, but at this time to try to curb the opponent's momentum, it was a little late, the Jazz single quarter blasted 30-11, chasing back 19 points.
While the Suns were crazy in the first quarter, they were largely due to Booker's outburst, and if Booker's contributions were removed, they would be the same as the Jazz. One side is 39 to 11 points from a single quarter, and the other side is 18 to 30 points from a single quarter, and the two teams are not roller coasters, but seesaws, and when you come down, it's when I go up.
In terms of statistics, the Suns side booker thrived, booming 26 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists, Bridges 6 points, Paul only 6 shots 2 of 4 points and 4 assists. On the Jazz side, relatively average, Clarkson scored 10 points, Bogdanovic 7 points, Whiteside 6 points and 8 rebounds, Ingles 6 points, Conley and O'Neal 5 points each.
