The NBA regular season continues, the Bulls take on the Jazz away, and both sides have had a lot of ups and downs lately, losing the last game and both hoping to boost the morale of the team with a win. In the first quarter of the game, the Jazz who played at home took the lead in entering the state, playing a 10-4 start, the Bulls also quickly adapted to the rhythm of the game, immediately responded to a wave of 17-4, the two sides came and went to the final battle into 27 draws; in the second quarter, the game entered a tug-of-war, the Second Half Jazz relied on the attack of the inside and outside lines to slowly open up the point difference, the first half of the battle, the Bulls trailed by 5 points. In the third quarter, Mitchell exploded, all kinds of three-pointers and empty breaks, a single quarter slashed 25 points, LaVine was not willing to show weakness, scored 12 points in a single quarter, there was a situation on the court, but the Jazz's shooting rate was higher, the Bulls entered the fourth quarter with an 8-point disadvantage; in the last quarter, the Jazz played a wave of 14-0 attack to set up the victory, although Dro scored 5 points in a row, but the two sides fought after 4 quarters, and finally, the Jazz took the Bulls 12-110 light to stop the losing streak.
In this game, Mitchell performed well, scoring 25 points in the third quarter alone, and after the game, he actually expressed that he scored 25 points unconsciously, and could have scored more points. He scored a total of 37 points. In addition, Clarkson, who came off the bench, also performed well, scoring 26 points on 11-of-18 shooting, and it seems that the best sixth man is none other than him. Gobert showed great strength on the defensive end, grabbing 20 rebounds and four blocks. Conley performed in the middle distance, scoring 14 points on 4-of-11 shooting, and Nikil became a substitute, scoring 16 points on 4-of-8 shooting, making his due contribution to the team's victory, which he also said after the game was very wonderful. Overall, the Jazz still play the characteristics of the team, Mitchell main attack, Gobert main defense, the two work together very tacitly.
Although LaVine also got 33 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists, he had no choice but to become an empty cut. DeRozan's performance is also acceptable, with 25 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists on 10-of-20 shooting, and playing quite hard in key moments, in addition, Dosem also met expectations and scored 15 points on 6-of-11 shooting, Vucevic's performance was also passed, scoring 10 points and 11 rebounds, and Young White also scored 12 points on 5-of-10 shooting, shooting 47% of the team and shooting 35% of three-pointers, so why did he still lose? In fact, the Bulls' record against a strong team with a better winning percentage than their own is only 2 wins and 16 losses, which is a very serious problem, which also means that they can't go further in the playoffs, or even a round trip. Summed up in one word, the team lacks a player who can stand alone on the defensive end, Lavin, DeRozan and Vucevic are not good defensively, Caruso is also affected by injuries, this is donovan's next problem to solve, to put it bluntly, the playoffs are the battlefield of fighting defense.
