An NBA regular season focus battle, the Brooklyn Nets away to challenge the Utah Jazz. At the end of the half, the Nets temporarily trailed by 21 points at 47-68, which can be said to be broken, and the 7-game losing streak was about to come out. Kyrie Irving single-handedly led the team, but he was in a slump, shooting just 2-of-12.
As soon as the game began, the Jazz gave the Nets a downside and exploded a 10-0 frenzy. The Nets are equivalent to making double digits before moving. Fortunately, in the second half of the first quarter, two Wizards stepped forward, namely Blake Griffin and Cameron Thomas, who each scored 7 points to help the Nets lose only 9 points 24-33 in the first quarter.
Entering the second quarter, Thomas's performance was still good, but Griffin stopped and the Nets offense was still flat. The Jazz, on the other hand, were crazier than in the first quarter, dropping 35 points and opening up a 12-point gap in the single quarter.
Kyrie Owen, as the superstar who led the team, failed to play his due role. It can be seen that Irving wants to save the team by his own ability, but the feel is too low, only 2 of 12 shots, this is not saving, but hurting, it is better to give the shot to teammates who are in better shape.
Irving made 12 shots, only to get 6 points, all three-pointers, and the other 2-point shots were all iron. However, Irving gave 5 assists, which is also no way to do it. The Nets double-doubled, Thomas scored 14 points on 6-of-9 shooting, Patty Mills scored 11 points on 4-of-7 shooting, and if Irving still can't find form in the second half, let the two attack.
On the Jazz side, which is also the leading superstar, Mitchell did not shoot many shots, only 4 times, but hit 3 goals and had 11 points and 4 assists. In addition, Bogdanovic had 10 points and 7 rebounds, Mike Conley had 9 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, and 6 and 5 points were more numerous, obviously, they scored more points than the Nets.
