SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah Jazz opened their final extended homestand of the season with a big 128-96 win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday.
It was just the second time all year Utah has held a team under 100 points, but it was actually the offense that stole the show. Ace Bailey dropped a new career high 33 points to lead the team. He was one of four Jazzmen to reach a new career mark in points scored.
The win bumps Utah up to 21-49 on the season, but didn’t cause any movement in the conference or league-wide standings.
Utah will stay at the Delta Center for the next week to welcome three Eastern Conference opponents for their once-a-season stop in the Beehive State.

Two shots, two Andersson Garcia tap-out offensive rebounds.
His hustle is a sight to see.

Cody Williams has really found a rhythm with that little one-dribble pull up.
You’d still rather him just knock down an open three, but he’s hitting that shot at a good rate lately.

Cody Williams’ mid-range jumper is getting reeeeeaaallll dangerous.

It says a lot about Cody Williams’ growth that he is the one to lead the team in scoring in these games, and the way he’s doing it.
Scoring from all three levels efficiently while still impacting the game in other ways.
Really cool to see.

Blake Hinson is going to absolutely roast some dudes at a YMCI run someday.
In the meantime, I think he might make a little money in the NBA.

A NEW career high for Ace Bailey.
He’s got 33 points to go with 9 rebounds, 4 assists, and 3 stocks.

Per @bball_ref, Ace Bailey’s 19 3PA’s are the most ever by a @utahjazz player.
Bojan Bogdanovic took 18 in 2022.
Bailey knocked down 7 threes (37%).
