Utah Jazz head coach Will Hardy was not pleased to see his defense seemingly ignore Dalton Knecht when he was in the midst of scoring 22 consecutive points

The Jazz had another defensive lapse tonight, this one against the Lakers and rookie shooter Dalton Knecht. Plus, on the Jazz's turnover problem and Will Hardy and J.J. Redick's relationship.

The Los Angeles Lakers’ rookie, who was taken 17th overall in the 2024 draft, unleashed for a career-high 37 points to lead the Lakers in a 124-118 victory over the Jazz. Knecht connected on nine 3-pointers, tying the NBA record for 3-pointers made by a rookie in a single game.
