Clarkson shines, scorer of 19 points
Plenty of pre-season contests played on the night. Excellent showing by Utah, which prevailed over Portland (118-101 the final). Clarkson shines, author of 19 points. On the other side, a 21-point Lillard total was not enough.
Space also for Fontecchio. The Italian, in his first outings in a Jazz jersey, plays 10′ but cannot find the way to the basket (0/2 shooting). In the other games, New York brilliantly overcame Detroit (117-96) while Minnesota beat Miami (121-111). Success also for New Orleans: 129-125 over Chicago with Williamson starring with 13 total points in 15′ total on the court.
