No stranger to stealing their thunder all throughout the night, Lauri Markkanen had no issue with raining one more, game-deciding 3-pointer on top of their parade. At his absolute best in a hotly-contested battle against an Oklahoma City Thunder team eyeing sole possession of the Western Conference’s No. 1 seed, Markkanen puts the game’s outcome on his shoulders, using a dribble handoff to free up just enough space to drain a 25-foot bomb, providing the Utah Jazz with a signature victory. The All-Star forward was about as on-point and accurate as one could be, needing just 18 shots to light up the opposition for 33 points, alongside 11 rebounds, two assists, one steal, and five 3-pointers on February 6, 2024. · Feb 7, 2024
