Collin Sexton · For athletes at any level, few environments test one’s composure quite like an opponent’s home crowd, especially when a run has been made, and they can sense the game’s momentum shifting in their team’s direction. Prepared to ace said test as a seven-year NBA veteran, Collin Sexton accepts the challenge of protecting the Utah Jazz’s one-point lead, finding the ball, Chris Paul’s respected defensive stance, and thus, the late-game spotlight arriving his way simultaneously. Clearing a sliver of space for himself with a pounding snatchback-type dribble, Sexton freezes Frost Bank Center’s optimism entirely with a cold-blooded crunchtime triple, offering remotely close to the game’s dagger. The Jazz, as slight underdogs, rode the momentum of Sexton’s fearless bucket to a one-point victory, capturing their season’s second victory on November 9, 2024. Among the night’s top producers, Sexton contributed 23 points (on 8-of-13 shooting), four rebounds, two assists, two steals, and a quite memorable 3-pointer. · State of Mint
