On November 1, Beijing time, the Jazz played at home against the Grizzlies, and the Jazz successfully defeated the Grizzlies 121-105 at the end of the game. The state of the Jazz this season is really unexpected, after all, when Mitchell and Gobert were traded, this season's Jazz has been seen as a rebuilding team, but the Jazz played excellent results after the start of the season, and defeated these opponents such as Nuggets, Pelicans and other promising teams, and the Grizzlies have just lost to the Jazz against the Jazz, but the last game lacked Morant, this game Morant returned, but Morant's play for the Grizzlies is also limited, and finally the Grizzlies still lost to the Jazz.
After the game began, relying on Morant's excellent performance, but the Jazz slowly built up their lead by many people, but fortunately, the Grizzlies' three-point outburst gradually completed the comeback, but the Grizzlies' offensive state was sluggish in the second quarter, coupled with continuous mistakes Jazz seized the opportunity to directly open the score, and the Jazz led by 17 points at halftime. In the second half, Morant and Dillon helped the Grizzlies chase the score, but at this time the Jazz played to withstand the Grizzlies' counterattack, and relying on the play of Conley and Markkanen The Jazz pulled the score wider and wider, and finally the Jazz had a 23-point lead by the end of the third quarter. There wasn't much suspense in the fourth quarter, and the Grizzlies themselves saw that there was no way to get close to the score and gave up the game, and the Jazz easily defeated the Grizzlies.
Morant really tried his best in this game, Morant finished the game on 12-of-18 with 37 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, it can be said that Morant's play has been quite efficient, but the current Grizzlies are really short of major generals, without Bane other Grizzlies players give Morant limited help, Dillon's performance in this game is average, Dillon finished the game with 19 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist. It's okay for the Grizzlies to lose this game, but now the Grizzlies are affected by injuries and it is difficult to win on Morant alone, so they need more people to play.
The Jazz are still stable in this game, among which Markkanen played a big explosion in the game, and it is precisely by relying on Markkanen's excellent play that the Jazz successfully opened the score, and in the third quarter when Conley also found the offensive state, the Jazz's lead was getting bigger and bigger, although the Jazz traded Mitchell, but from now on the arrival of Markkanen and Sexton directly made up for Mitchell's vacancy, and also relied on this all-in-one model, the Jazz became the dark horse of the West is rising. Markkanen finished the game with 31 points, 11 rebounds and 2 assists on 11-of-15 shooting, Conley had 15 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists, Clarkson had 11 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, and Sexton had 15 points and 2 rebounds.
And the Lakers' old Tucker is really embarrassed, although in the first half of the game Tucker's effect on the inside looks good, but Tucker is still bad on the outside three-pointer, and even in the fourth quarter of the game, Tucker's nonsense once made the Jazz chase the score, and at the end of the game, Tucker was 5 of 11 with 13 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists, of which the three-point shot was a bad 6 for 1, and the plus-minus -1 was also one of the few negative values for the Jazz, You know, compared to those garbage time players Tucker played nearly 20 minutes in this game, while other players are basically positive, so Tucker failed to prove himself in the game, and compared to Kuzma, Pop, who left the Lakers with explosive players, Tucker's performance was disappointing, and the Lakers sent him away.
