No 2. Steven Adams did everything but score vs the Jazz

Steven Adams stuffed the stat sheet against Utah. Despite chipping in just 3 points, Adams pulled in 13 rebounds, 8 assists, and 2 steals.

Adams has been so good at finding ways to impact the game without scoring and this was a signature Steven Adams game.

He’s turned into one of the best passing big men in the NBA, averaging more than three per game.

No 1. Jaren Jackson Jr. had his best game in months

Jaren Jackson, Jr. had one of his best games of the season and it couldn’t have come at a better time. Just a week or so before the playoffs begin, Triple J is hitting his stride after failing to score 20 points in 10 of his past 12 games.

Jackson hit some huge shots down the stretch against the Jazz, helping the team claw their way back to force overtime against the Jazz.

He ultimately finished the game with 28 points, 7 rebounds, 3 blocks, 2 assists, and a steal. He nearly had a season-best performance, barely missing his season-high of 29 points.
