On a night when the Utah Jazz’s leading scorer was in a brutal slump, if the team was going to pull out a win on the road vs. the Charlotte Hornets, someone else would have to step up.

Talen Horton-Tucker answered that bell. Utah All-Star Lauri Markkanen shot a measly 3-of-22 (13.6%) from the field, but Horton-Tucker’s 37 points put the team in position to defeat the Hornets, 119-111.

‘THT’ came tantalizingly close to notching a triple-double, finishing the night with 10 assists and eight rebounds to go along with his scoring outburst. With Collin Sexton missing his ninth straight game, and Jordan Clarkson still nursing his injured thumb, the 22-year-old THT produced easily the best performance of his young NBA career.
