Terrible Markkanen and Jazz bent the suns of the incredible Booker, who stopped at 49 points

Lauri Markkanen is playing like an All Star this year. The Jazz play like a team that wants to make the playoffs and doesn’t want to tank. All of this was confirmed – and – against the Suns, with Utah prevailing 134-133 after a match thriller and the Finn pulling off magic.

Markkanen was second to none, finishing the game with 38 points on 15/18 shots (2/2 3-pointers), 6/8 field goals and 6 rebounds. Thus, he managed to overshadow the impressive Devin Booker to some degree, with the Suns star finishing the game with 49 points on 16/31 shooting and 15/15 shooting! However, 45 of those came in the first three periods, with Booker scoring just 4 points in the 4th period.

The Suns had a chance to send the game into overtime, but Damion Lee’s 3-pointer went wide and Booker simply set up the final score with a follow-up.

Malik Beasley with 27 points and Jordan Clarkson with 20 points trailed Markkanen in performance, on a night when the Jazz even reached +19 and ended up escaping the kazoo.

For the Suns – who went for another game without Chris Paul and Cameron Johnson – Cameron Payne and DeAndre Ayton each had 17 points.
