Game Preview
On Wednesday evening, the Utah Jazz and the Detroit Pistons square off at the Delta Center.
Utah has won its last 2 home games, defeating the Mavericks 127-90 in the most recent one. After recovering from an injury, Lauri Markkanen scored an additional 17 points and pulled down 4 boards to lead the squad in scoring in this game. Simone Fontecchio topped the squad with 24 points alongside 6 rebounds. With 20 points, 10 boards, and 11 assists, Jordan Clarkson also achieved the inaugural triple double for the Jazz after Carlos Boozer in 2008. They held the Dallas Mavericks to 39.8% shooting from the floor and 27.5% from three, while as a unit they shot 51% from the floor but only 27.3% from three. The primary cause of the Mavericks’ nearly 40-point deficit was their poor shooting performance, but they also suffered losses in the turnover margin and rebounding percentage. All in all, the Jazz won big because Jordan Clarkson created history and every player received their share of the victory.
In their first game back after ending their 28-game losing skid, Detroit was defeated 136–113 by the Rockets. Alec Burks paced the squad in scoring in the defeat with 21 points after coming off the bench, and Jalen Duren finished with a double double of 12 points as well as 14 rebounds. Even with Jaden Ivey’s additional 19 points and 6 boards, the team was still having trouble. They allowed the Rockets to shoot 56% from the floor and 42.9% from three, while their own squad only managed a 48.2% field goal percentage and 44.8% from three. The Pistons’ away record has now dropped to 1-16 as a result of their outperformance in both categories. The game’s difference was primarily caused by rebounds and turnovers. All things considered, it was a difficult setback for the Pistons, who are still having difficulty winning this season.
