On the 6th, the Nuggets went to Salt Lake City as guests for the second battle against the Jazz, and this time the Nuggets lost.
The score of the two teams was lower than the last game, only 82 to 89, with neither team scoring over 90 points.
The Jazz's defense at home was fiercer than when they were away, showcasing a rugged defensive atmosphere.
Zeng Xingyang was intensely double-teamed, and his shooting percentage tonight was only 33%, scoring 12 points, grabbing 4 rebounds, and making 3 assists, but also committing 4 turnovers.
After their first encounter with the Nuggets, the Jazz became somewhat familiar with Zeng Xingyang's playing style and intensified their resolve in defense against him.
The Jazz's offense wasn't very strong, causing both the coaching staff and players to emphasize defense and pace.
When Hayward, Favors, Gobert, Milsap, and others crowded the inside, Jokic almost turned into a pancake.
