Behind Markkanen's offense and Kessler's defense the Jazz rose to the occasion.

Whatever game it is, whatever night, you know that Sexton will bring 110% energy, and those are the types of guys you want on the floor when things go bad. He also looks like a dominant rebounder and could be a force for the Jazz for years to come. In the first half alone, Kessler had 5 blocks and 7 total for the game. The Jazz have found a star for the future. This ability for Markkanen to get to the free throw line is massive because it means that even if his shot isn’t falling, he will still be a highly efficient scorer. Walker Kessler remains one of the biggest steals in the Rudy Gobert trade.

The Utah Jazz managed to eke out a win over the Orlando Magic on Friday night at Vivint Arena in Salt Lake City, Utah.

After watching, a lot of the rebounds he got were uncontested and off misses without anyone from the other team around. After the game Clarkson said that he was just in the right spot at the right time for the most part, and he’s right. So it’s notable that they won the battle of the boards against the Orlando Magic on Friday, 60-40. He’s actually been doing this a lot more lately, recognizing when defenses are trying to run him off the 3-point line and taking advantage of mismatches. But even so, he finished the night with a game-high 28 points because he went 17-of-21 from the free-throw line. This one is amazing because of what happened just before the block.

The Jazz, who had 11 of their 24 turnovers in the sloppy fourth quarter, then went scoreless until Sexton scored with 59 seconds left. The Jazz took their largest lead of 11 points in the first quarter on a Markkanen 3-pointer, and then held five-point leads at halftime and after the third quarter. The center then sank two clutch free throws after being fouled by Banchero. The teams traded leads over the next few possessions until Utah took the lead for good on a Clarkson drive with 32.5 seconds remaining. The Magic took a 106-105 lead on a Mo Bamba shot with 1:18 remaining. Markkanen spoiled Orlando’s ensuing game-tying effort, blocking Wagner’s 3-point attempt.

I tried to do my best at getting the offense set early and getting us in a good rhythm where we can pass, cut, drive, kick, and so forth.” “I just don’t think we did a good enough job passing the ball early in the possession versus their shifts, and it got us in some tough spots where you get in the middle with Orlando’s length. [Jordan Clarkson](https://www.sltrib.com/sports/jazz/2023/01/12/why-would-jordan-clarkson-rebuff/), thrust into more of a play-making role with Conley shelved, had two assists against seven turnovers. “Passing late was the biggest issue,” Hardy said. and slowly work myself back into the game.” “It’s just necessary to simplify the offense a little more, because Mike can get guys organized into different looks you might want,” Alexander-Walker said. It’s been a minute, so I definitely had to pretty much just settle in,” he said. We had 24 [overall] and we had 11 in the fourth quarter, which is alarming considering the jerseys we were wearing tonight,” Hardy quipped. “I feel like we should know which guys are on our team and which guys aren’t when we wear the yellow.”

Philadelphia will look to regroup on the road after suffering a home loss to the Thunder on Thursday night.

The Sixers will also have James Harden this time around to help spread the floor, making it even easier for Embiid to maneuver. The Sixers cannot let Markkanen and the Jazz do whatever they want in the same way they let Shai Gilgeous-Alexander run all over them last game. At 25-16, the Sixers are holding on to the fifth place spot in the Eastern Conference. The contest was an overall defensive failure for the hosts, a concerning trend to start on the cusp of a five-game road trip to the West Coast. Tyrese Maxey followed with 18 points and James Harden was out with injury at the time. As of Friday, Markkanen was shooting 7.1 3-pointers per game with a shooting percentage of 41.1 from long range.

On Friday night, Sexton played the sixth-man role to perfection by scoring 18 points on 5-for-7 shooting and a +18 in the +/- column. Malik Beasley being inserted into the starting lineup is going to mean more pressure on Sexton to score at a high clip. Despite being a 56% free-throw shooter on the year, Kessler calmly sank both shots to give the Jazz a three-point lead. Jordan Clarkson led the Jazz with seven, while Markkanen chipped in with five. Utah missing its veteran point guard Mike Conley because of a rest day definitely contributed to the carelessness. Franz Wagner led the Orlando Magic with 26 points in a losing effort.
