Jordan Clarkson went 1 of 14 from the field after going scoreless for the first 47 minutes of the game, the Jazz were 1 of 9 in the first half on corner 3s, they started out the night missing their first four free throws and finished shooting just 52.9% from the charity stripe.

Keegan Murray scored a season-high 26 points to lead the Sacramento Kings to a 118-101 victory over the Utah Jazz on Wednesday at Delta Center in Salt Lake City.

The Kings scored 50 points in the paint, knocked down 15 3-pointers (on 36 attempts), and shot 17-of-31 in the mid-range. Sacramento finished the game with seven players in double-figures and added 11 points from the free-throw line.

The Kings have been an elite mid-range shooting team, ranking third in the league at 47 percent. In the three matchups against the Jazz this season, Sacramento has upped that conversion rate to 55.4 percent, making it imperative that Utah’s defense is ready to make life difficult for the Kings in the mid-range.

A foot injury forced Kings forward Keegan Murray to miss two games in early January, but that might have been a blessing in disguise.

The Kings destroyed the Charlotte Hornets by 42 behind a 42-point explosion from LaVine and followed it up with a 17-point road win over the Utah Jazz with 22 points from LaVine. The two-time All-Star had a slow start to his Sacramento campaign but has quickly become the potential number-one option in this offense.
