Jazz get the better of Brooklyn, Nets lose 118-107

Kyrie Irving finished with a double-double for the third time in a Brooklyn uniform, but the Nets still lost to the Utah Jazz.

Kyrie Irving had another efficient night in his second game back from the right shoulder impingement which sidelined him for 26 games in a row, but the Nets still couldn’t pull off the win on Tuesday. The Jazz were simply too much for Brooklyn as Utah won its 10th consecutive game, 118-107.

The Jazz had three players score 20-plus points: Joe Ingles (27), Donovan Mitchell (25) and Rudy Gobert (22). Ingles’ tied his career-high.

But it was Irving who led both teams in scoring. He finished the night with 32 points on 12-for-19 shooting (3-for-5 from 3-point territory). The Nets point guard also had a season-high 11 assists in his third double-double performance of 2019-20.

Irving also had five rebounds and two steals.

Spencer Dinwiddie was second on the team in scoring with 17 points on 7-for-17 shooting (2-for-5 from long-range). He also had five assists.

Joe Harris struggled from deep, going 1-for-5 for the Nets. He still finished with 13 points and went 5-for-10 from the floor.

Caris LeVert was the only Nets reserve in double figures. He scored 11 points in 26 minutes of action.
