On January 9, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued today, and in a game that just ended, the Jazz defeated the Bucks on the road. For the Jazz, this game was more than just a win, and their record also surpassed the Warriors to move up to 11th place in the West.
The Jazz vs. the Bucks played a game that can be said to be very catchy, in the first half of the game, the Jazz led by 33 points when the game was dominated by the most, and when most people thought that the game would lose suspense, the Bucks suddenly stormed in the third quarter, winning by 23 points in a single quarter, and only trailing by 10 points in the third quarter to regain the suspense of the game.
The fourth quarter was more interesting, at the beginning of the Jazz once again stretched the difference to 18 points, but then the Bucks returned a wave of attack waves to narrow the difference to only 7 points, but the Jazz always had someone to stand up and score at the end of the game to stretch the difference to double digits again, the Bucks missed three consecutive points at the end, and the game completely lost suspense, and finally the Jazz beat the Bucks 132-116.
With the win, the Jazz moved to 18-20, a 47.4 percent win rate, surpassing the Warriors' 17-19 (47.2 percent) record and moving up to 11th place in the West, just 0.5 wins behind the Lakers, who are 18-19 in the West. While most people are focusing on the Suns, Lakers, and Warriors competing for a play-in spot, the Jazz have quietly risen through the ranks, with an 8-2 record in the last 10 games.
It is worth mentioning that the Jazz will usher in a wave of 6 consecutive home courts, including the Lakers and Warriors. If they win the Lakers and Warriors at home, the Jazz may not have no hope of making the play-offs. With everyone believing that Morant is injured and the Grizzlies will fall out, the Jazz may be the spoilers of the Western Conference play-offs.
