Johnny Juzang

Moda Center’s scoreboard on December 6, 2024 told a multitude of stories, as the Utah Jazz ran off a 42-point road win, produced nine different double-digit scorers, and silenced the crowd of their Pacific Northwest rivals. Yet, on a night of career-bests and brilliant statements, few messages were as resounding as Johnny Juzang’s. Connecting on at least one 3-pointer in every quarter, Juzang positions himself for a particularly memorable one during the second quarter by zipping from one wing’s side to the other for a catch-and-shoot trifecta. Juzang’s bucket propelled the Jazz to a 17-point advantage at the time, though history would confirm that the makings would get much worse over the ensuing two quarters. Among multiple players finding individual history against the Portland Trail Blazers’ defense, Juzang — from the bench — paced all scorers with a 22-point (on 8-of-14 shooting), two rebound contribution, alongside six 3-pointers and a +15 plus-minus.
