Jazz v. Lakers
The Delta Center was buzzing as the Utah Jazz pushed the Los Angeles Lakers to the limit in a thrilling 108–106 nail-biter. While the Jazz narrowly missed the win, they battled throughout the fourth quarter to set up a heart-stopping finish. Keyonte George led the charge for the Jazz with an impressive 27 points, while Lauri Markkanen added 20 points to keep the home crowd on their feet. Despite the Jazz's late-game heroics, the Lakers were able to hang on behind a 33-point near-triple-double from Luka Dončić. It was an unforgettable evening of high-stakes basketball that perfectly captured the spirit of competition and community we strive to share with our Sharetix recipients. Thank you to the Utah Jazz for sharing tickets!
“My son has autism and Down syndrome. We signed him up for Junior Jazz this year for the first time so taking him to a real Jazz game was a real treat! He wore his junior jazz jersey to the game and loved cheering for both teams and clapping along the Defense chants. We got to see the Jazz bear come on the court on a motorcycle and were amused by the people on the Jumbotron. We had a wonderful time!”- Angela
