The Jazz are the first team in the NBA to win 10 games. That’s not something I thought I’d be writing before this 2022-2023 season began, but here we are, and boy is this Jazz team fun to watch! The Hawks got Trae Young back, but that wasn’t enough to get them over the top against the Jazz in Atlanta tonight.
In the first quarter the Jazz got out to an early lead, but neither team shot the ball particularly well. Lauri Markkanen made his mark on the game early scoring 16 of his 32 points in the first quarter, shooting 50% from the field, and getting to the line 8 times!
