Jazz Beat Wizards with super trio Markkanen, Beasley, Clarkson
The Jazz did what they had to do against the Wizards and clinched the win, which relied on a burst between the third and fourth quarters, 120-112, with Clarkon, Beasley and Markkanen having a combined 69 points.
Jazz continues to defy all predictions. The Wizards continue to disappoint. Their matchup resulted in a…professional victory for Utah, who defeated the Wizards 120-112 and gave them their 14th loss in their last 16 games.
Malik Beasley’s 25 points led the Jazz, with Jordan Clarkson adding 23 points and Lauri Markkanen adding 21 points, on a night when the Mormons were 16/35 from 3-point range.
The Wizards, without Kristaps Porzingis, had Bradley Beal on 30 points, Kyle Kuzma on 21 points and Daniel Gafford on 13 points.
