SALT LAKE CITY- Despite the Denver Nuggets making a little bit of a run to start the third quarter, Cody Williams and the Utah Jazz have bounced back strong with Nikola Jokic off the floor to close the margin.

On a night when rookies for the Jazz have been making plays all over the floor, first-year player Cody Williams decided to throw two big-time buckets of his own.

Both were three-pointers that came in the opening minutes of the fourth quarter. The first came at the 10:15 mark and was assisted by Jordan Clarkson.

Cody’s second was a big one to cut the Denver lead to three. Kyle Filipowski was dribbling near the free-throw line being guarded by Peyton Watson. Williams stood on the wing unguarded and open to receive the Filipowski pass. Cody stepped into the three-pointer and knocked it down to make the score 105-102 in favor of the Nuggets.

Jazz Host Nuggets Looking To Snap Three-Game Losing Streak

After winning back-to-back games for the first time this season over the Detroit Pistons and Brooklyn Nets, the Jazz have dropped three straight to the Cleveland Cavaliers, Portland Trail Blazers, and the Philadelphia 76ers.

The Jazz will host the Nuggets before embarking on a three-game east coast road trip with stops against the New York Knicks on New Year’s Day, before playing back-to-back games in Miami and Orlando beginning Saturday.

At 7-23, the Jazz own the fifth-worst record in the NBA but are tied for the second-fewest wins overall.

The Nuggets travel to face the Jazz before opening a heavy stretch of home games to begin the new year.

After facing the Jazz, the 17-13 Nuggets will play five of their next six games in Denver as they look to climb out of the seventh seed in the West.
