With his triple-double, Karl-Anthony Towns makes the song at Jazz | NBA

While the Lakers, 9th in the West, continue to sink into the negative, the Wolves, 8th, continue their good course likely to lead them to the playoffs. By winning easily against the Jazz, deprived of Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell, they once again balanced their balance sheet and plunged Utah a little more into doubt.

After getting the best start in the first few minutes thanks to Mike Conley, Utah struggled to score and contain Karl-Anthony Towns. In the lead after a quarter (26-20), Wolves consolidated their lead with the facilities of Anthony Edwards in attack. Author of a big second quarter, Bojan Bogdanovic allowed his team to come back in front but the locals finally took the lead at the break (52-48).

The Jazz will not see the Wolves again afterwards. The third quarter was indeed marked by the offensive explosion of the “KAT” behind which the Minnesota players will fly away to score (92-75). Led by more than 20 points, the Jazz still tried to come back with the address of a few men from the bench. But the visitors were never able to limit ‘KAT’, Jaden McDaniels & Co, who scored 74 points in the second half…

WHAT YOU MUST REMEMBER

Great collective performance from Wolves. 35 assists, six players with ten points or more… Wolves did not suffer too much from the absence of D’Angelo Russell (shin) or Patrick Beverley (ankle) to sign one of their best collective performances in the season. Other players have thus been able to compensate for the clumsiness of Anthony Edwards.

Concern around Joe Ingles. The sad image of the evening. On a penetration in the second quarter, the Australian twisted his left knee on his own and was down for a while in pain. He had to be supported by his partners to return to his locker room. He must take exams on Monday but optimism is not necessarily in order. ” We hope it will be better than we all imagine “said Jazz assistant coach Alex Jensen, who replaced Quin Snyder, placed in Covid quarantine.

The bad dynamics of Jazz. Salt Lake City players had not experienced a series of five consecutive defeats since February 2020. We can broaden the spectrum to the last 13 meetings of the Jazz: only two small victories obtained. The multiple absences are detrimental to the Jazz, which is losing ground to the Suns – Warriors – Grizzlies trio at the top of the West. Under threat from the Nuggets and Mavs, Utah could quickly slide to sixth place in the conference.

TOPS/FLOPS

Karl Anthony Towns. Almost perfect evening for the interior of the Wolves who notably took advantage of his size advantage over Rudy Gay to gain the upper hand. It was mainly against the Jazz veteran that he scored… 16 consecutive points for his team in the third quarter that tipped the match. He signed his second career triple-double. The previous one was from 2016.

Jaden McDaniels. He took full advantage of assists from inside to finish in the circle after cuts. The substitute power winger was equally adept behind the arc to set a new career high without missing a single shot. Faultless production for him.

The lack of protection of the Jazz circle. Hassan Whiteside may have countered Karl-Anthony Towns twice, but that did not prevent Wolves from scoring 66 points in the Jazz racket. Almost 30 points more than their opponents. The absence of Rudy Gobert obviously still weighed in the debates.
