Jazz and Bulls clash after pulling off comeback wins. Following a stunning comeback victory in Sacramento on Monday night, the Chicago Bulls aim to continue their road success as they face the Utah Jazz in Salt Lake City on Wednesday night.
Coby White went off for a career-high 37 points, while DeMar DeRozan came up clutch with 19 of his 33 points in the fourth quarter, leading the Bulls to a thrilling 113-109 victory over the Kings. Chicago kicked off their four-game Western Conference road trip in style, rallying back from a 22-point hole.
In the fourth quarter, the Bulls outscored Sacramento by a whopping 36-18, clawing their way back from a big deficit. DeRozan stepped up big time in the second half, dropping 28 points to spearhead the comeback and finally snap a four-game losing streak against the Kings.
The Bulls got a solid 20 points from Ayo Dosunmu, while Nikola Vucevic chipped in with 13 rebounds and 10 points. Back on November 6th, Chicago took down Utah 130-113, with Zach LaVine leading the charge with 24 points. Unfortunately, LaVine’s out for the season now due to a foot injury.
For the Jazz, Hendricks (toe injury), Kessler (foot injury), and Porter (inactive) will not play the game. As for the Bulls, Ball (knee injury), Craig (knee injury), LaVine (ankle injury), and Williams (foot injury) will sit this one out.
The Jazz, who had been struggling with just one win in their last nine games before their comeback victory against Washington on Monday, are looking to build some momentum after their own rally against the Wizards.
John Collins put on a show for Utah, racking up 17 points, 15 rebounds, and a career-high six blocks, leading the Jazz to overcome a 14-point deficit despite missing several key players. Injuries sidelined Lauri Markkanen (quadriceps) and Walker Kessler (foot), while rookies Keyonte George (illness) and Taylor Hendricks (toe) left the game after limited playing time in the first half.
Clarkson and Sexton both stepped up when it mattered most, particularly in the fourth quarter, helping the Jazz snap a three-game losing streak.
Clarkson had a monster game, dropping 38 points and going on a 12-point spree late in the fourth quarter to seal the deal and hand the Wizards their 15th consecutive loss, 127-115. With that impressive showing, Clarkson now holds the record for the most 30-point games off the bench in Jazz history, with 13 under his belt.
