The NBA regular season continues, the West ushered in a high-profile game, the Clippers home against the Jazz, on the strength, the Fourth Jazz in the West has a clear advantage, but George returns in this game, what kind of performance he will lead the team to play, it is worth the fans' expectations. In the first quarter, the Jazz took the lead in entering the state to play a perfect start of 11-4, but the Clippers, although they had home advantage, could not find the direction of the basket, scoring only 14 points in the first quarter, and the Jazz won 18 points in the single quarter; the second quarter. George and Kennard opened on the perimeter, the Clippers chased the gap to single digits, and Mitchell led the team to continue to widen the gap, and the Clippers trailed by 13 points in the first half. In the third quarter, the Jazz played another wave of 17-3 attacks, the point difference returned to 20 points, but George and Batum played well on the offensive end, narrowing the point difference to 12 points after the third quarter, and the game still had suspense; in the fourth quarter, George exploded and led the team to play a 23-6 counter-score, and then withstood the Jazz's counterattack, the two sides fought after four quarters, and finally, the Clippers beat the Jazz 121-115.
It is worth mentioning that the Clippers completed a big reversal in the case of a 20+ point difference behind, and this is also the fifth time this season to complete a reversal in the case of falling behind by 20 points, three of which were completed in the case of falling behind by more than 25 points, which became the team with the most single seasons in the NBA in the past 20 years, and there is no doubt that the Clippers have created a new record. The game was George's debut after his comeback, and he scored 34 points on 10-of-20 shooting, including 6-of-9 three-pointers, in addition to six assists and four steals, and was excellent on both ends of the game. After the game, George also said that I had returned to 90% of my pre-injury state and I was reluctant to sit on the bench and watch my teammates fight alone. In addition to George, Reggie Jackson scored 21 points, Kennard also scored 17 points, And Hatten scored 14 points, all of which were credited with the Clippers' reversal. NBA celebrity Perkins said george's return would make the Clippers more intractable and threatening. The Clippers are currently in 8th place in the West with 37 wins and 39 losses, 4.5 wins ahead of the 9th-place Pelicans, and their hopes of qualifying for the playoffs this season are great.
On the Jazz side, mitchell, the best performer, he scored 33 points on 12-of-21 shooting, Conley scored 19 points on 7-of-13 shooting, Hernangomex scored 13 points on 5-of-6 shooting, Clarkson, who came off the bench, scored 17 points on 6-of-15 shooting, and Gay scored 11 points on 4-of-4 shooting. Personally, I think that the light enemy is one of the main reasons, in their minds, the comeback debut of George is unlikely to play such a high performance.
