Yet, a rabid Jazz fanbase continues to show out night after night, making their impact felt at each and every home game. Jazz center Walker Kessler spoke about the impact the Utah fans have had across a bumpy season following their 106-134 loss to the Detroit Pistons.
Keegan Murray scored a season-high 26 points to lead the Sacramento Kings to a 118-101 victory over the Utah Jazz on Wednesday at Delta Center in Salt Lake City. Murray posted his fourth 20-point game of the season and his first since Nov. 24 to help the Kings (30-28) start a four-game road trip with a victory.
Kessler is the third player to go 10-for-10 from the floor in an NBA game this season, joining the Cleveland Cavaliers’ Jarrett Allen and the Chicago Bulls’ Mata Buzelis. Allen was 10-for-10 in a 135-116 victory over the Washington Wizards on Oct. 26, and Buzelis went 10-for-10 in a 133-124 victory over the Miami Heat on Feb. 4.
Keegan Murray scored a season-high 26 points and Zach LaVine added 22 to lift the hot-shooting Sacramento Kings to a 118-101 win over the Utah Jazz.
The Jazz lost to the Kings in a game Will Hardy called "weird" — Jordan Clarkson missed a lot of shots, while Walker Kessler made 100% of his. Plus, thoughts on Cody Williams' physical development, and layering actions.
Jordan Clarkson went 1 of 14 from the field after going scoreless for the first 47 minutes of the game, the Jazz were 1 of 9 in the first half on corner 3s, they started out the night missing their first four free throws and finished shooting just 52.9% from the charity stripe.
The Kings scored 50 points in the paint, knocked down 15 3-pointers (on 36 attempts), and shot 17-of-31 in the mid-range. Sacramento finished the game with seven players in double-figures and added 11 points from the free-throw line.
DeRozan, LaVine and Murray were each excellent for the Kings, scoring a combined 67 points between the three. Stuffing the stat sheet on tremendous efficiency (they shot 41.7 percent from long distance through the course of this one), Utah couldn't hold on against a team reloaded and primed for a playoff run.
