The Utah Jazz survive a late Indiana Pacers flurry on the road to pick up their 29th win of the season and their second win of the four game road trip; final score 123-117.
For much of the game the scoring margin was slim. There was a fair amount of trading buckets or collective cold stretches. Utah led by just 2 points at the half.
As Mike Smith put it on the broadcast, the game was “waiting for a protagonist”. While many players like Lauri Markkanen, Aaron Nesmith, Collin Sexton, and Isaiah Jackson made their mark in the contest, it was Jordan Clarkson and Tyrese Haliburton that dueled for the “W”.
