Lauri Markkanen Takes Jazz Past Spurs With 27 Points
2 years agoUtah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen produced a game-high 27 points as the team cruised past the Spurs 118-102 Saturday night. He shot 9-for-17 from the field with a 3-for-7 effort from downtown and had a perfect record at the charity stripe with six attempts. Markkanen's line also included four rebounds, two assists and two turnovers in 32 minutes. The 25-year-old has become a star in Salt Lake City, and Markkanen should be aiming to prove his worth even further by leading the Jazz squad to the playoffs. The team got back to .500 on Saturday, but it's a tight race in the West between a host of teams, and high-level performances are needed each night.
