38+9+9!Durant dreamed of returning to the top, Booker broke the record, the Suns refused to be upset, and Clarkson scored 37 points

The NBA regular season continues with the Suns taking on the Jazz on the road. The Suns previously had a 5-6 record, and with injuries to Beal and Booker, Durant struggled a little bit on his own. Booker scored 31 points in two straight games after his comeback. In the last game against the Timberwolves, the best defense in the league, Booker and Durant combined to score 62 points to lead the team to a big victory, which also confirmed how strong the Suns are when they are healthy. But before the game, the Suns received bad news: Charania reported that Beal will be out of action for at least 3 weeks due to a lower back strain, and is expected to be re-evaluated in early December!

The Jazz started the season with a 4-7 start to the season, and Makkanen, the team's top scorer, averaged 23.9 points per game and was very efficient. According to Utah media analysis, before the trade deadline, people like Clarkson, Sexton, Olyniko and others may be sent away to continue to increase their holdings in future rebuilding assets. One thing worth pondering, after Vogel became the head coach of the Suns, Durant was fixed at the No. 4 position, although some running was reduced, but the increase in confrontation and the requirement to protect the rim under the basket also put pressure on Durant. The Suns started this game: Booker + Allen + Gordon + Durant + Nurkic, and the Jazz started with: Gionte George + Clarkson + Abaki + Markkanen + Collins.

At the beginning of the game, the Suns were full of firepower, Durant scored three points in the bottom corner, Booker made a jumper against George, Nurkic made a kill, and Durant fed Allen to continue to hit three points. After the Suns opened up the difference, Booker and Nurkic blossomed inside and out, plus Durant's three-pointer, the Suns started with a 19-6 climax! The Jazz relied on Clarkson's singles and three-point shots to slowly narrow the difference, and Gordon also opened the outside touch early, and Durant's jump shot was not missing. But in the second half, the Jazz counterattacked: Collins and Olynyco rained three-pointers, Fontecchio and Tucker burst out to shoot, after the first quarter, the Suns led the Jazz 41-38, and both teams had no defense, but Durant was too accurate, and Durant and Booker had 11 assists in the first quarter!

Back in the second quarter, Markkanen and Sexton hit consecutive jumpers, the Suns bench stopped the Jazz under the leadership of Gordon, and Durant hit Markkanen in the middle of the three-pointer, and the difference returned to double digits. The Jazz relied on continuous kills to chase points, Durant continued to respond from mid-range, in the second half of the game, Gionte George rained three points alone to lead the team to tie the score, Durant continued to train Markkanen, and Collins made consecutive baskets to stop the Suns. At the end of the quarter, Durant's jump shot + dry three-point shooting, Clarkson responded with three points, and at the end of the half, the two teams were tied at 75! Durant scored 24 points in the half, Booker scored 11 points and 9 assists in 3 of 9, and the Jazz scored more than 8 points in the half, and the Suns had no defensive focus at all.

At the beginning of the second half, Booker began to attack the basket, Durant received the ball and missed the basket, and Agbaji and Markkanen led the team to overtake the Suns. In the middle of the game, Markkanen and Gordon scored three points, Clarkson scored consecutive singles, and the Jazz adjusted Durant's defensive strategy, either fouling early or pinching, preventing Durant from receiving the ball easily. And Allen and Gordon didn't take advantage of several open three-point opportunities, and the Suns struggled on the offensive end. In the second half, Durant finally continued to shoot from the mid-range, and then hit a layup against Clarkson. At the end of the quarter, Little and Eubanks rained three-pointers, Goodwin continued his three-point touch, and the Jazz relied on Clarkson's one-on-one response. At the end of the third quarter, the Suns led the Jazz 102-99.

In the fourth quarter, Eubanks made a basket + Booker hit three points, and the Suns gradually widened the difference.
