Lauri Markkanen scores 28 points as Utah Jazz beat Toronto Raptors 131-128

Lauri Markkanen had 28 points and 13 rebounds and Mike Conley added a three-point play and two clutch free throws in the closing minutes to lift the Utah Jazz to a 131-128 win over the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday night.

Conley, who had 19 points and eight assists, drew Pascal Siakam’s sixth foul on a head fake and completed a three-point play to give the Jazz a 120-113 lead with 2:13 remaining. VanVleet kept the Raptors close with his 3-point shooting, but the Raptors couldn’t complete the comeback effort. Jordan Clarkson scored seven of his 23 points in the final 1:39 and Walker Kessler added 17 points, 14 rebounds and matched a career best with seven blocked shots for Utah, which has won five of its last seven games.

Kessler had NBA season-best six blocked shots in the first quarter, tying the franchise record that Mark Eaton set on Feb. 18, 1989, against San Antonio. Eaton had six blocks in both the second and fourth quarter and 14 overall in that game.The Jazz, at times, showed their youth – failing to box out for rebounds, turning the ball over and slow getting back on defence, which led to 28 fast-break points for Toronto.
