Walker Kessler's remarkable performance with 18 points, 25 rebounds, and eight blocks set franchise records — but it wasn't enough to beat the Raptors.
Each of those five players is enshrined in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. On Friday night, their exclusive club got a new member. Utah Jazz center Walker Kessler had 18 points, 25 rebounds and eight blocked shots in a 118-109 loss to the Toronto Raptors.
The Utah Jazz are in the midst of a tanking season, sitting dead last in the Western Conference with a 15-48 record, which bodes well for their chances of landing the No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft. The wins and losses don't tend to matter as much when you're chasing lottery balls,
This is Utah's fourth straight loss, and eighth defeat in the last 10 contests. Falling to another NBA loss leader -- and a very shorthanded one -- in Toronto, Utah dropped their 11th straight game on the road, making the Jazz winless since January 5th in any arena outside the Delta Center.
Walker Kessler had a go-ahead dunk with 9.7 seconds left to help the Utah Jazz beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 117-116, snapping a six-game losing streak in the series.
Kessler is the third player to go 10-for-10 from the floor in an NBA game this season, joining the Cleveland Cavaliers’ Jarrett Allen and the Chicago Bulls’ Mata Buzelis. Allen was 10-for-10 in a 135-116 victory over the Washington Wizards on Oct. 26, and Buzelis went 10-for-10 in a 133-124 victory over the Miami Heat on Feb. 4.
