LOS ANGELES- In a game where it seemed the Utah Jazz were doomed from the start, the large margin allowed for some younger Jazzmen, including rookie Isaiah Collier, to get extended minutes and more experience.
Even with the Clippers up by more than 20, the Utah Jazz were still working hard on the defensive end. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Kevin Porter Jr. went into the chest of Lauri Markkanen, knocking him off balance, and forcing him to get rid of the ball before he fell out of bounds.
Isaiah Collier jumped into the passing lane, knocking the ball out of the hands of a Clipper. Whether he meant to or not, he led the ball out in front of him perfectly for the breakaway dunk.
Collier is currently 2-3 with four points, all of them coming in the second half. He also has the most positive +/- of any member of the Jazz with a +12.
