After a strong two-game winning streak, the Jazz, who are in good shape, continue to sit at home and usher in the challenge of the Knicks during the two-game losing streak.
On the Jazz side, head coach Snyder stood still, choosing to believe in the existing starting lineup and trying to defend the home court to win 3 consecutive wins by playing steadily.
On the Knicks side, Kemba Walker was on leave, Burks got the opportunity to enter the starting lineup, and head coach Thibodeau was also ready to win a surprise and end the losing streak!
However, after four quarters of fighting, with a wave of 13-3 scoring climax, the Jazz, although in the first half, once overwhelmed the Knicks and occupied the initiative on the court.
But after returning from the second half, Randle + Barrett ushered in the third quarter, leading the Knicks to play a 24-2 counterattack frenzy, instantly reversing the situation on the court.
Fortunately, in the final finale, Mitchell + O'Neal + Clarkson felt hot and joined forces to blast an 11-1 offensive frenzy, helping the Jazz regain the lead and lock in the victory in one fell swoop.
The Jazz, who finally withstood the pressure, also reversed the Knicks 113-104 at home, successfully winning 3 consecutive wins, but also giving the opponent Knicks 3 consecutive losses!
In this game at home, although the Jazz once fell into the disadvantage of falling behind by as many as 12 points, fortunately, the team did not mess up, but played a team performance of 4 people scoring in double figures, completing the reversal.
In the case of O'Neill + Azubuik + Clarkson and other main players, each performing their duties, the core of the team Mitchell, and the play of the two tigers who jointly cut 38 points, Bojan + Conley, is particularly critical!
Mitchell exploded in the game, starting 33 minutes and scoring a game-high 32 points on 13-of-26 shooting, plus an all-around performance of 7 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 steals and 1 block.
Among them, in the second quarter, his heroic performance of scoring 14 points in a single quarter not only helped the Jazz to open the situation smoothly, but also became a difficult existence for the Knicks to solve!
In addition, as the team's backcourt engine, conley's play in this game also played a crucial role.
Against the Knicks, Conley lived up to expectations, delivering 18 points+ 3 rebounds + 7 assists + 1 blocked offensive and defensive performance, and successfully revitalized the Jazz's entire team's offense at the same time as gaining at the offensive end!
Of course, the Jazz were able to complete a comeback in this game, and the performance of Tigers will also be indispensable.
In this game, Bojan dared to fight, starting 30 minutes, shooting 2 three-pointers on 6-of-14 shooting, contributing 20 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist.
More importantly, throughout the game, Bojan personally has not made a mistake, it can be said that at both ends of the attack and defense, played a very efficient game, is a major contributor to the Jazz team to complete the reversal!
On the other hand, on the Knicks side, the team collapsed in the final quarter of this game, and finally was reversed, losing by 9 points and swallowing 3 consecutive defeats.
But rationally speaking, for the Knicks, this battle, the team is not completely without highlights.
After all, in the case of randall + Barrett and other main players, continuing to perform steadily, the play of Tall Tamichel Robinson in this game is indeed remarkable!
Mitchell Robinson was very efficient, starting 34 minutes, shooting more than 70% of the 8-of-11 shooting, and delivering 19 points+ 21 rebounds + 1 assist + 2 steals + 3 blocks.
Although it did not help the Knicks win, there is one thing to say, the excellent performance of Mitchell Robinson on the inside of this game did cause great pressure and trouble to the Jazz's inner line!
Just facing Mitchell, who has gone crazy, and the Jazz team that blossoms more, Mitchell Robinson, who has worked hard for a whole game but has no success, seems to have no choice but to accept the reality of 3 consecutive defeats!
