Lauri Markkanen Racks Up A Career-High 38 Points
2 years agoUtah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen was in incredible form against the Suns Friday night, posting his new career high with 38 points and shooting a superb 15-for-18 from the field in a 134-33 win. He was 2-for-3 with the three-ball and wrapped up the damage with a turnaround jumper late in the shot which turned out to be the game-winning shot. Markkanen's career night also included six rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block with one turnover in 35 minutes. The Finnish forward really needed the big performance, as he's been a bit quiet lately and the team started a rough stretch of matchups against good defensive teams. Markkanen will now look to replicate his performance against Portland and the Clippers.
