As the sixth man of the year last season, Jordan Clarkson was one of the Jazz's worst-performing core members of the season. So far this season, he's shot as low as 33.6 percent and three-pointers as low as 20 percent. Facing the Hawks away from home, Mitchell was sidelined with an injury and Clarkson played one of the best games of the season. He scored a season-high 30 points to help his team win 116-98 to see the game's post-match interview.
Clarkson said: "I just try to be myself, my teammates, coaches, bosses, everybody tells me to 'keep shooting'. Mitchell said to me before the game, 'Brother, this kind of thing will always happen.' When you start hitting shots, you keep going. I want to pay tribute to them. ”
Clarkson scored 25 points in the second half, including 15 in the third quarter. Ingles said: "We know JC [Clarkson] is a lot of aggressive bench bandits and you would expect him to play like this every night. As a teammate, you'll try to make his game easier. I'm happy he's staying aggressive and he's playing a good game. ”
Ingles was another of the Jazz's credits, having 13 points, four rebounds and two assists in the first half, and his three three-pointers helped the team bite the Eagles. Ingles said: "I will find the right shot in the team system, this is my way of playing. My shots are what the team needs, and I'm confident I can get in. ”
For the disciples to finally find their touch, Jazz coach Schneider said: "Some people can't shoot or shoot too much I will replace them, Jordan Clarkson is not one of them, I will never let him sit on the bench because he can't shoot." ”
Jazz guard Trent Freest said: "Jordan made my job easy, all I needed to do was pass him the ball and I just watched from the sidelines. ”
