Only two players in NBA history have scored more points than Lauri Markkanen did tonight on four or fewer made field goals.
Chauncey Billups did it twice, Sleepy Floyd did it once.
Steve Smith matched Markkanen’s 28. – 11:48 PM

End of 1Q: Jazz 36, Magic 27.
Lauri Markkanen gets stuffed by the rim on his dunk attempt before the end of the first.

End 1Q: Jazz 36, Magic 27. A nearly-perfect period ends with Lauri Markkanen driving hard, going under the hoop and attempting a reverse jam … only to stuff himself on the rim. Still, he has 12p, Jazz made 7-11 from 3, Magic shooting 38.5% overall. – 9:36 PM

Lauri Markkanen just got stuffed by the rim on a reverse dunk and slid to the floor and just stayed on his back. THT ran over and laughed and then pretended to give him CPR. Excellent stuff. – 9:35 PM

Jazz are on an 8-0 run, thanks to B2B wide-open 3s by Lauri Markkanen, whom the Magic should probably consider covering. Just a thought. He’s got 12p, and Utah leads Orlando 34-23 with 1:39 left 1Q. – 9:30 PM

More on this storyline
Utah: Lauri Markkanen (left hip contusion) has been downgraded to questionable for Saturday’s game against Philadelphia. Mike Conley (rest) and Udoka Azubuike (health and safety protocols) are available, and Collin Sexton (right hamstring injury maintenance) and Rudy Gay (left low back spasm) are out. -via HoopsHype / January 14, 2023
Donovan Mitchell had 46 points in his return to Utah, but the Jazz rallied late behind Jordan Clarkson to beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 116-114 on Tuesday night. Clarkson scored 32 points, including five 3-pointers, and poured in nine straight down the stretch to fuel a decisive 13-0 run. Lauri Markkanen had 25 points and 16 rebounds against his former team. Malik Beasley, Mike Conley and Nickeil Alexander-Walker added 13 apiece as Utah won for just the second time in nine games. “I thought our guys just really dug in, stayed the course and stayed focused on the little things,” Jazz coach Will Hardy said. -via ESPN / January 11, 2023
“I know I’ve gotten better as a player, gotten more mature as a person, so I think it just takes time to evolve,” Markkanen said. “Just sometimes I feel like I’m in the right place at the right time clicking with the coaching staff, system and the guys I’m surrounded with. It’s a different path for everybody.” Bulls guard Zach LaVine, Markkanen’s former teammate in Chicago, said: “I’m just happy for him. He’s 100% an All-Star in my book.” -via ESPN / January 10, 2023
