Markkanen, Clarkson lead Jazz to win over Lakers

Those wins against the Lakers hit a little different.

Lauri Markkanen and Jordan Clarkson continued their excellent play this season, leading the Jazz to victory tonight on the road against the Los Angeles Lakers. Markkanen started out on fire dropping 12 points in the first quarter, as the Jazz and Lakers both got out to quick starts and were letting it fly from three. The Jazz used a little run from the end of the first quarter and into the second quarter to build up a lead, and never looked back. Clarkson caught fire in the second quarter, and started doing what JC does best- buckets, buckets, and more buckets.
