After the defeat in Philadelphia, Utah Jazz defeated Milwaukee 123-108 at home. Their next game will be at home against Oklahoma, but Oklahoma is in great form and Utah has a tough job. Oklahoma's away record is pretty good.
Boston beat Memphis on its own field by a different score of 131-91.
In their last 8 games, Boston lost to Los Angeles teams at home.
It's like Boston is allergic to Los Angeles teams. It was surprising to me that they lost to both the Clipppers and the in-form Lakers.
This will be a great fight for Utah Jazz and they will prove a lot if they will defeat one of the best teams in the West. I am glad to see Sexton making a huge impact for that team. Now, Jordan Clarkson is whom I want to see stepping up his game. It seems like his stats are not improving anymore especially in their last 5 games.
I've seen him become an offensive player and even took the 6th man of the year. Now, they need him to show that performance again and maybe they will defeat the OKC if that happens.
Jazz is just lucky on today’s match because Dame is literally no impact in the game. Bucks relies too much with Giannis and we all know what gonna happened if there’s no help for Giannis. OKC is much tougher opponent since SGA is very consistent while he has a reliable teammates that is so well synchronized to each other.
On the other hand, I think Clarkson performance is understandable since Jazz is well balance team which usually do a rotation on their players. Jazz is not focusing their play to Clarkson so it’s very hard him to get a momentum especially now that the expectation on him becomes higher due to his recent achievement on stats.
