When the Spurs played the Jazz earlier this week, they contained Lauri Markkanen in the first half and he went wild in the second, scoring 27 as the Jazz easily outclassed the fading Spurs. Tonight, even though Markkenen dominated in the first half, the Spurs hung on and kept competing as the both teams struggled to score in the second half. The Jazz were missing Jeremy Jordan Clarkson, and the lack of their main offensive facilitator left the Utah offense unable to create shots except for Lauri, who lost steam late in the game as the Spurs turned up their defense intensity and finally won the game as Keldon Johnson closed it out late, breaking the 16 game loss streak and preventing a winless Rodeo Road Trip.
