After winning a five-game winning streak, the Jazz, who are in great shape, continue to sit at home and usher in the Challenge of the Rockets during their four-game losing streak.
On the Jazz side, Gobert returned from injury, and the Jazz, who played in this campaign, are only ready to continue the winning streak and defend the home team with 6 consecutive wins.
On the other hand, on the Rockets side, new signing Schroeder made his debut, trying to help the Rockets out of the predicament, staging a big upset on the road, taking away the victory to end the losing streak!
Finally, after four quarters of playing, with a perfect start of 14-2, the Jazz, who played at home, completely suppressed the Rockets in the first half and achieved a huge advantage of 25 points.
Although after returning from the second half, Wood + Tate in the third quarter went on to lead the Rockets to chase points, and successfully recovered 3 points in a single quarter.
But in the last minute of the decisive battle, the Jazz played steadily, expanding the point difference to 34 points in one fell swoop, while the Rockets could not catch up with the points, so they had to lose.
In the end, the Jazz team also won 135-101 at home to the Rockets, winning 6 consecutive wins at the same time, but also gave the opponent Rockets 5 consecutive defeats!
Playing at home in this game, the Jazz did not live up to the expectations of fans, and the whole team played a 7-man scoring double-double, multi-point blossoming team offensive attack to win a 34-point victory.
In the case of Gobert's comeback state is good, Whiteside + Pascal + Azubuik and other main players, each performing its own duties, the two core Mitchell + Bojan, and the play of Clarkson on the bench, is particularly critical!
Mitchell was in full swing, starting 29 minutes, shooting 60% of the 15-of-9 shooting, shooting 5 three-pointers from the outside, and bombing a game-high 30 points, plus 6 rebounds and 7 assists.
Not only did it win on the offensive end, providing the Jazz with a strong outside firepower, but also on the organizational end, it successfully revitalized the whole team's offense, almost single-handedly rewriting the entire game!
In addition, as one of the most stable scoring points on the Jazz's front line, Bojan's play in this game also played a crucial role.
Bojan was very efficient, shooting 4 three-pointers on 8-of-14 shooting and delivering 22 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists.
And his excellent performance in the first quarter, 5 shots and 5 shots without false shots, also helped the Jazz to smoothly open the situation, and once became an invincible presence for the Rockets!
Of course, the Jazz were able to beat the Rockets in this game, and clarkson's performance on the bench was also indispensable.
Clarkson lived up to expectations, coming off the bench for 23 minutes and contributing 16 points, 1 rebound, 3 assists and 2 steals on 5-of-10 shooting.
And in the second quarter, he scored 11 points in the key performance, not only completely disrupted the Rockets' defensive rhythm and deployment, but also made a great contribution to the Jazz to win the game!
On the other hand, on the Rockets side, the team was comprehensively crushed at both ends of the attack and defense in this game, and finally swallowed a 34-point rout + 5 consecutive losses, which obviously needs to be examined.
After all, in the case of Wood + Jaylen Green + Tate and other main players, continuing a stable performance, the play of new signing Schroeder in this game is indeed somewhat unsatisfactory!
Schroeder was slightly sluggish, coming off the bench for 17 minutes, scoring only 4 points+ 3 rebounds + 5 assists + 1 steal on 2-of-6 shooting, and the plus-minus on the court was as low as -20.
Not only was he unable to find the previous state of the game, but in this game, Schroeder's play on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends did not play the performance that head coach Silas wanted to see!
Obviously, for the Rockets' tactical system, as well as head coach Silas's platooning, the newcomer Schroeder, it really takes a while to adapt and run in!
