The Jazz defeated the defending champion Bucks 107-95 on the road, holding the throne of the First Place in the West, and substitute Jordan Clarkson scored 15 points, but he deflected all seven shots from outside the three-point line, allowing himself to stop 99 consecutive three-pointers in the regular season.
Kyle Kuzma, Harrell and others who left the Lakers this season have played well, helping to rebuild the team Wizards are currently tied for the first place in the league with a record of 5 wins and 1 loss, continuing the magic that broke out after the Lakers abandoned the departure in recent years. The likes of D'Angelo Russell, Julius Randall and Ingram have quickly grown into All-Star players after leaving the Lakers, and Jordan Clarkson also won the best sixth-man trophy last season.
Clarkson, who was selected with the Lakers overall pick in the 46th overall pick in the second round of the 2014 NBA Draft, averaged 15.3 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 527 regular season games to date, averaging 18.4 points per game in 26.7 minutes in 68 regular season games for the Jazz last season. Averaging 3.1 three-pointers per game, his standing up and unreasonable three-pointers on the bench were key to the Jazz's league-first regular-season record last season and the Jazz's ability to average a record 16.7 three-pointers per game in NBA history.
Before the Jazz beat the Bucks, Clarkson hit no fewer than two three-pointers and scored no less than 15 points in all five regular season games this season; although Clarkson also scored 15 points in the Jazz's win over the Bucks, he hit all seven three-pointers. It seemed harmless, but it brought Clarkson's record of 99 consecutive regular-season three-pointers to an abrupt end.
However, Clarkson also worked a miracle. Only two players in NBA history have hit more three-pointers in a row than Clarkson in the regular season: Stephen Curry and Kyle Korver. Curry hit the longest three-pointer in 157 consecutive regular-season games from November 13, 2014 to November 3, 2016, the longest in NBA history, and now he has hit 131 consecutive regular-season three-pointers, while Korver hit 127 three-pointers in 127 consecutive regular-season games from November 4, 2012 to March 2, 2014.
As a 29-year-old second-round pick, Clarkson has been able to rank third in NBA history by hitting 99 consecutive regular-season three-pointers! It is worth mentioning that Klay Thompson has only 95 consecutive three-pointers in the regular season, and Harden has only hit three-pointers in 79 regular season games so far, and Lillard has hit three-pointers in 61 consecutive regular season games so far.
Many players have played better after leaving the Lakers, and many people feel sorry for the Lakers; however, the Lakers have already won the championship in 2020, and there is still a certain amount of championship strength this season.
