The Utah Jazz have been showing great displays throughout the season which put them at the top of the NBA record-wise (42-14) and they continued building upon it with yet another win, this time with 119-111 against the Indiana Pacers (26-29).
The euros from both squads showed up big with Bojan Bogdanovic scoring 24 points on the winning side followed up by Rudy Gobert’s double-double of 13 points and 23 rebounds.
Interestingly, the second-leading scorer for the Jazz was Donovan Mitchell with 22 points (in 21 minutes) despite being forced to exit the game due to an ankle injury early in the third quarter.
Indiana put up a fight with Domantas Sabonis filling up the stats sheet with an all-around performance of 22 points, 15 rebounds, seven assists, one steal, and one block.
Caris LeVert also had a strong outing with 24 points for the Pacers in addition to Malcolm Brogdon’s 16.
