The Good: Trey Burke. Trey Burke put on a show for the home crowd in the Jazz win over the Lakers. Burke poured in a season high 31 points in 37 minutes for the Jazz. The 2nd year point guard finished 12-of-22 from the floor in 37 minutes and was a +26 for the Jazz. Burke also chipped in with 6 rebounds and 9 assist with just 2 turnovers in the win.
The Bad: Jordan Clarkson. Jordan Clarkson was torched all game long by Burke and didn't do much on the offensive end to make up for it. In 27 minutes, Clarkson finished with 5 points and 4 assist on 2-of-7 shooting from the field. Clarkson was also a team low -25 with him being the primary defender on Burke for the game.
X-Factor: Alec Burks. Alec Burks did a little of everything against the Lakers as he filled up the stat sheet in the Jazz victory. Burks played 31 minutes and finished with 18 points, 5 rebounds, and 6 assist while shooting 6-of-11 from the field including going a perfect 4-of-4 from the charity stripe. Burks was a +24 for the Jazz.
Rookie Watch: Julius Randle and Dante Exum. Julius Randle collected another double-double or the Lakers with a 13 point and 11 rebound performance in 27 minutes of action. Exum only played 8 minutes before leaving the game with sprained wrist that is expected to keep him out the next 1-2 weeks.
