Such a performance from George even landed him some All-Star-level praise from his veteran big man, Jusuf Nurkic, who sees some similarities to nine-time All-Star Damian Lillard in the Jazz guard.

Jusuf Nurkic compares Keyonte George to Damian Lillard, praising his game understanding. George impressed with 31 points against the Celtics showcasing his improved performance. George's scoring, assists, and free-throw attempts have significantly increased this season.

Jaylen Brown believed the officiating crew cost the Boston Celtics a game Monday night, but referee Kevin Scott explained what led to a no-call.

The Utah Jazz, thanks to a last-second miracle from Jusuf Nurkic, and a season-best night from Keyonte George pulled out a big road win against the Boston Celtics that now lifts them to a 3-4 record on the season, while also breathing some much-needed life into the team after falling to three-straight losses heading into the night.

The Utah Jazz brass challenged the young guard to be a better version of himself and on opening night he showed what he’s capable of.

Keyonte George puts in 31 points of work for Utah, but it was a putback from Jusuf Nurkic with 0.6 seconds left in the game got the Jazz a win in Boston.

Jaylen Brown looked like he was tripped by Keyonte George late in the Celtics’ loss to the Jazz. But there was no foul call, and after Brown lost the ball, the Jazz got a crucial basket on the other end to take the lead.
