The UtahJazz had a 134-133 win over the Phoenix Suns and Salt Lake Tribune Jazz beat writer Andy Larsen has three thoughts about it.
Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen hits a shot with seconds on the shot clock as Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker , in NBA action between the Utah Jazz and the Phoenix Suns, at Vivint Arena, on Friday, Nov. 18, 2022.Three thoughts on the Utah Jazz’s 134-133 win over the Phoenix Suns from Salt Lake Tribune Jazz beat writer Andy Larsen.Lauri Markkanen had 38 points on just a casual 15-18 shooting from the field, 2-3 from three, and 6-8 from the free-throw line.
But then there’s the eventual game-winner, which is just ridiculous. Truly a Kevin Durant/Dirk Nowitzki kind of shot, where Markkanen’s release point is just too high for even good defense from Devin Booker to deal with. But, honestly, the Jazz give you a ton of opportunities to make mistakes, by asking questions over and over again. It’s kind of like a quick flash card test: if you ask someone easy times-table kind of questions 10 times in 10 seconds, they might make a mistake just through the speed of the whole thing.Watch how the Suns kind of freak out and just double team Clarkson twice, even though that’s not super smart.
He’s now shooting 9.9 threes per 36 minutes, making 43% of them. Only two players in the NBA are shooting better than that on that volume: Steph Curry , and the very awesome Bones Hyland, who has somehow started the season shooting 50% from three.
