Dalton Knecht absolutely lit up the Utah Jazz on Tuesday night in Los Angeles. The Lakers rookie scored a career-high 37 points and made nine three-pointers. The highlight of highlights came in the third quarter when he scored 21 points—including a stretch where he made five three-pointers in three minutes.
Jazz coach Will Hardy spoke with the media after the game and was brutally honest about the job his team did defending Knecht during that monster stretch. Needless to say, he was not impressed with their situational recognition.
