The Utah Jazz beat the Toronto Raptors 145-113 on Friday night at the Delta Center.

Here’s a look inside the numbers from the Jazz’s victory:

Best performance: Lauri Markkanen led the way for the Jazz with 22 points to go with nine rebounds, two assists and a steal. He shot 7-of-11 overall and 4-of-6 from deep.

Worst performance: Though a small sample size, R.J. Barrett is averaging 21.8 points since getting traded to the Raptors from the Knicks and was averaging 18.9 points overall this season. The Jazz, however, held him to just four points on 2-of-9 shooting in 30 minutes.

4: The Jazz have won four straight games for the first time this season and are 13-4 in their last 17 games.

21: Jordan Clarkson finished with 21 points and five assists off the bench for the Jazz. It was his seventh game of at 20 or more points when coming off the bench this season.

80: Utah’s bench scored an incredible 80 of the team’s points. The Jazz’s starters subbed out midway through the fourth quarter (although they could have subbed out earlier), giving the bench more time to work, but to their credit, every player that stepped on the court contributed and they never let the Raptors even think about closing the gap.

Best of the best: The Jazz’s defense was impressive overall but Markkanen really made things tough for the Raptors. John Collins got into foul trouble early on so Markkanen was playing 3 through 5 on some possessions, but never looked like he was out of place.

Worst of the worst: Thad Young started for the Raptors and committed five fouls and scored zero points in 12 minutes of total play.
