Lauri Markkanen Helps Carry Jazz to Road Win over Spurs

Lauri Markkanen scored 29 points and Keyonte George added 28 as the Jazz ended the Spurs' eight-game winning streak with balanced team scoring.

  • In San Antonio on Saturday night, the Utah Jazz beat the Spurs 127-114, snapping their league-high eight-game winning streak.
  • The Spurs, hampered by missing De'Aaron Fox and 28 of the previous 34 days on the road, saw the Utah Jazz expand a lead to 127 and maintain it through the third quarter.
  • Lauri Markkanen scored 29 and Keyonte George added 28, while Victor Wembanyama returned with 32 points in his first start since Nov. 14, ending the Spurs' eight-game winning streak.
  • The result immediately changed momentum as the loss halted San Antonio Spurs' league-high eight-game streak, with Utah Jazz gaining consecutive wins after four straight losses; San Antonio hosts Cleveland on Monday and Utah faces Boston on Tuesday.
  • The result also highlighted San Antonio's condensed schedule, as Victor Wembanyama made his first start since Nov. 14 after a 12-game absence and the Spurs played their first consecutive home games in six weeks after 28 of the previous 34 days on the road.
