Going into Golden State knowing that Stephen Curry and Draymond Green are going to be watching from the sidelines would probably boost the spirit of any opponent. Well, unless you’re the Utah Jazz and you know you’ll be without Lauri Markkanen,

Playing their second game in the last 24 hours without Lauri Markkanen, John Collins, Walker Kessler, and Jordan Clarkson, the Jazz got a balanced scoring attack that was led by Collin Sexton and fought hard against the Golden State Warriors. In the end, Utah fell 114-103 and will look forward to bouncing back during an upcoming homestand.

The Jazz have Sexton to thank for being close against Golden State on Tuesday. The 26-year-old guard led Utah with 30 points on 12-of-19 shooting and added four assists.

Collin Sexton, the lone Jazz core player playing on Tuesday, put up 30 efficient points in a performance that wasn't quite enough. Plus, thoughts on Cooper Flagg and more.
