Keyonte George Scores 36 Points in Jazz's Close Loss to Nuggets

AutoDraft Pro AI

Keyonte George delivered a strong performance for the Utah Jazz on Monday night, scoring 36 points on 14-for-22 shooting with four 3-pointers in 30 minutes. This was his second game back after missing three weeks due to ankle sprains. George's dunk with 2:13 left gave Utah a late lead, but he was controversially denied two free throws on what was initially called Nikola Jokic's sixth foul, which was reversed to a blocked shot after review. He missed a last-second 3-pointer as the Jazz fell to the Nuggets 128-125.
