He was playing with some high energy. Love to see it!

[@PhonkEcho]

The announcers sounded bored

[@limitation246]

I remember him dropping 40 when he was on the Lakers.

[@fouurthaf3194]

yes and it was a pre-season match

[@robglobal1]

@Fouurth AF no it wasn't it was end of the season

[@CWJ0725]

he was good in the summer league, then in the regular season, he was turned into a spot up shooter. You know why.

[@ragewayz900]

@@CWJ0725yep our goal for him was that role lebron had that year and ofc he couldn’t reach that potential with literally lebron on the team😂

[@jasonbillones4520]

jazz is 12th seed

[@controversialmann5345]

Can’t we jus be happy this kids finally in a good position breaking out since Feb he averaging 16 5 and 8 on relatively decent efficiency besides he young

[@shanmusic161]

Russ and THT were the most hated Lakers last season and today they just dropped an efficient 36 and 43 and both got wins

[@cmy9769]

bruh tht literally having a way worst season than he was in the Lakers he got all these high numbers games just because the team is starting to tank and let him do and shoot whatever he wants 😂

[@801MOTO3]

​@cmy that's not even remotely true. They aren't trying to tank at this point in the season.

[@cmy9769]

@@801MOTO3 with their standings yes they shouldn't but literally they're giving up and IT'S OBVIOUS AF lol u can literally see they're shutting down Collin Sexton Jordan Clarkson for the season and most likely Markkanen and Olynk too asap and actually u can understand why since they have the lottery

[@ngt514]

Lakers hated him because they kept him instead of Caruso

[@Yo_mama-yx2tn]

He's ass

[@REDANDSILVER741]

Lakers knew he had potential to be great, just wasn’t going to happen with the roster we had at the time.

[@kingexclusivo]

Facts. As a Laker fan i love THT

[@awenner]

Right... that's why they traded him for a total scrub in Beverley

[@Waxedupwill]

Why y’all hating? He worked on his craft. Now he hitting fadeaway threes! Stop it

[@keyloc444]

40 is the new 30 in the NBA. More talent less defense

[@lastfirst4056]

Facts bro

[@superxnatrl1941]

he was on fire

[@imnotblindbutiloveblindfol8449]

Once him and Lauri develop more as a DUO this Jazz team will be scary in a year or too. I feel Sexton is the key coming off the bench.

[@erivertogonsalez4824]

When L is 9n the bench and THT is running the ball the team tends to win but when Lurkenin is in the game the jazz just focus on him but its ok THT has been good for us so far next year papa.

[@ARH375]

Came out of the shadow of LeBum

[@IllMatic97]

Lebron stays in your head, huh big dawg?

[@Angel-lq5im]

Everybody plays better without James and he keeps begging for help😂😅😂😂😂

[@TheMagmafire]

@@IllMatic97 Its just cold hard fact, almost the entire young core that was traded for AD and went away from LeBum are now franchise type players. He is too ball dominant for others to grow around him. its just fact...no matter how much you defend him..its just shows!!

[@CWJ0725]

Talen's talent was suppressed in the Lebron-centric system in LA. Glad to see him flourishing in a new environment.

[@mago97615]

Another LeBron hater...

[@BeastBrookGod30]

​@@mago97615 it's so true that team is like a dictatorship ruled by lebron..everyone turns into spot up shooters

[@keymuandreabdallah7131]

@@BeastBrookGod30 this is crazy this is the 2nd time this season where he went off like this. The first 3 months of the season he was barely getting minutes but now that he has that game he was suppressed by Lebron?

[@keymuandreabdallah7131]

@@BeastBrookGod30 he is averaging the same stats for the past 3 seasons this isn’t his breakout year or anything he just had an amazing game

[@zacharybancroft747]

​@@keymuandreabdallah7131 his stats over the last 10 or 20 games have been on point due to clarkson being out. He's been getting more minutes and put in a role where he actually has the ball. Even across the season as a whole he is averaging slightly better stats on slightly less minutes. I imagine the last half of the season would look too heavy too

[@Saber_Matrix]

Dope💯

[@spudmuncher113]

I didn't expect this

[@lyndonyoung6756]

I could see him starting to play more like a wish luka. He could be a really good point for them next year.

[@stixonfire3947]

bro finally had a career high and now people saying hes good, in LA he wasnt able to or was hated. he had a 40 pt with the Lakers too and against the Warriors. and now a 41 pt against one of the worst teams in the NBA this season. He is literally doing what he did with the Lakers this time no Lebron and no AD. And hes a champion with the Lakers

[@1roundleft821]

He had 39 a few weeks ago.

[@nagboinfi]

He was good at lakers but he didn’t get enough minutes, and they just used him a spot up shooter, when a guy his side Can give you a lot in the paint too.

[@brentw0681]

he played like 2 minutes per game with the lakers lmao. "champion"

[@bigsnoopndacoupe]

THT, Westbrook, Kuz all had plenty time & opportunity to ball out with the Lakers, but they were too inconsistent, LeBron & AD had missed plenty games during their run with the Lakers, but these guys never stepped up, now since leaving they will occasionally have a great game, so do not be fooled, i do give each their props for the games they do show up in 👌

[@controversialmann5345]

Quit hating.

[@nofuture_at_all]

It's the time of the year where the players on teams outside the Playoffs get their career-high. Last time, it was PJ Washington. Now, it's THT. Who's next?

In the Jazz W?

[@Daveyboy_GolfR]

Just another one of over a dozen incredibly talented young players that LeBron got rid of during his time with the Lakers

[@kennycarrasco1674]

He’s averaging worse numbers rn than he did with the lakers 🤡

[@Daveyboy_GolfR]

@@kennycarrasco1674 obviously you don't realize that he's only 21 years old and already a top 5 Wing defender in the league. Are you denying that LeBron didn't get rid of tons of young talent and his five years with LA, just to bring over a bunch of big name oldtimers. By doing that, he gave up tons of young talent as well as draft picks going into 2030. Just look at the 2018 players he got rid of who are absolutely thriving all over the league. Anyway LeBron James has played with more Hall of famers than any other NBA player in history and has the most finals losses in NBA history. Instead of playing general manager, maybe he should have focused on nurturing and bolstering these young guys he had in 2018 instead of just getting rid of them and bringing over Carmelo Anthony, Westbrook, Howard, which was the biggest disaster for our LA Lakers these last few years. Just look at Brandon Ingram and Julius randle, Look at Malik Monk, talen Horton Tucker, Lonzo ball, Tyson Chandler, Alex Caruso. Ivica zubac etc etc Every single year he would overhaul the entire team and start brand new. Does that sound like the recipe to building a championship team? Guys got to play together, fight together, lose together and bond together over a few years. Four years ago where were the Celtics or the bucks or the Suns, or the sixers or the grizzlies? Absolutely nowhere. But their core guys stuck together and now lead the league. LeBron James try to pull a Miami heat super team in Los Angeles last year and it was the biggest embarrassment besides his performance in the 2011 finals, as well as his final minute in the 2013 win-or-go-home game 6 versus the Spurs where he gave up the ball twice in a row followed by an airball triple attempt, and finally missing the tying 3-pointer. Nobody talks about that final minutes because Ray Allen hit that rebound to tie the game. So not only is LeBron known as having the worst performance in a Finals series in NBA history buy a franchise player versus the Mavs averaging 16 PPG and 8 points in a pivotal game 4 But he's also the recipient of having the worst performance in the last 60 seconds of a win-or-go-home Finals game we're in the final he turned the ball over twice in a row, and then followed that up by a air ball 3. And then in the fourth possession where it was when or go home he pricked the final shot, luckily he had three All-Stars playing with him that saved his ass. You can't be the greatest of all time with so many blunders. Total scoring leader of all time is a fantastic satistic, but it's just a longevity stat. You take a player who played 30 years averaging 22 per game and he'd be the scoring leader. All depends how long you play. I was never impressed with Kareem averaging 24 PPG playing 22 years and I'm not going to be impressed with LeBron using his status and influence to be the one player who's played with the most all stars and Hall of famers in NBA history (at least 20 +) and going 40% in the finals. While Michael and Kobe each only played with one real All-Star their entire careers

[@brucelau2023]

Wish the Lakers could’ve kept him huh 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆

[@LeCloudey]

hell no

[@JaceGevera]

I'd rather choose Reaves over THT, got more potential and consistent all year. It's just one of those nights for THT when they're playing a weak ass team like SAS. He scored 40 as well when he played for the Lakers but most of the year he was a bum.

[@LeCloudey]

here come all the laker haters saying the lakers made a mistake trading him 😂dude was a bum on his last year on the lakers

[@JaceGevera]

Right, and Reaves better over him. Lol

[@markibash2689]

Dude wasn’t necessarily a full on bum. He showed flashes here and there. But even if he did develop, there’s no way the lakers could afford to have another ball dominant non shooter on a team featuring bron, AD, and russ
