Well, unless you’re the Utah Jazz and you know you’ll be without Lauri Markkanen, John Collins, Walker Kessler, Jordan Clarkson, Johnny Juzang and Cody Williams. Of course, the Jazz do have one player who has confidence and belief that can’t be tamped down.

The Jazz have Sexton to thank for being close against Golden State on Tuesday. The 26-year-old guard led Utah with 30 points on 12-of-19 shooting and added four assists.

Collin Sexton, the lone Jazz core player playing on Tuesday, put up 30 efficient points in a performance that wasn't quite enough. Plus, thoughts on Cooper Flagg and more.

Playing their second game in the last 24 hours without Lauri Markkanen, John Collins, Walker Kessler, and Jordan Clarkson, the Jazz got a balanced scoring attack that was led by Collin Sexton and fought hard against the Golden State Warriors. In the end, Utah fell 114-103 and will look forward to bouncing back during an upcoming homestand.
