NEW YORK (AP) --- Lauri Markkanen scored 30 points, Keyonte George had 29 and
the Utah Jazz used a huge fourth quarter to beat the Brooklyn Nets 123-110 on
Thursday night.
The Jazz outscored the Nets 42-20 in the final quarter after trailing by 15
points in the first half. Markkanen and George nearly outscored the Nets by
themselves, combining for 18 points.
Kyle Filipowski had 15 points and Walter Clayton Jr. added 13 off the bench for
Utah, which shot 14 for 22 (63.6%) in the fourth.
Noah Clowney scored 29 points and Ziaire Williams had 23 off the bench for
Nets, who had their two-game winning streak snapped.
With the game tied at 98 with 6:29 remaining, George hit consecutive
3-pointers. Williams answered with a 3 that made it 104-101.
On the ensuing possession, Tyrese Martin turned the ball over after stepping
out of bounds and Bryce Sensabaugh was fouled on a 3-point attempt and made two
free throws to extend the lead 106-101.
Filipowski then connected on another 3-pointer and Markkanen followed with one
of his own after Clowney's layup with 3:39 to play to make it 112-103.
The Nets rested leading scorer Michael Porter Jr. for injury management in the
second game of a back-to-back. Porter, who is averaging 25.3 points, scored 33
and had 10 rebounds in Wednesday's win at Chicago.
Up next Jazz: Remain in New York to play the Knicks on Friday. Nets: Host the New Orleans Pelicans on Saturday. ___ AP NBA: https://apnews.com/hub/nba |
