**Interview with Jordan Clarkson on His Performance and the Jazz’s Recent Game**
**Interviewer:** Welcome, Jordan! Great to have you here today. Let’s dive into last night’s game. You were the leading scorer for the Jazz with 18 points, but the team faced some challenges in the second half. What do you think went wrong after such a strong first half?
**Jordan Clarkson:** Thanks for having me! Yeah, we started off really strong, especially from beyond the arc. But after halftime, we just couldn’t find our rhythm. We took a lot of difficult shots, and our ball movement wasn’t what it needed to be. We need to stay more disciplined and stick to the game plan, especially when the momentum shifts.
**Interviewer:** It was surprising to see the team struggle from three-point range in the second half after making 14 of 26 in the first. What do you think contributed to that drop in shooting percentage?
**Jordan Clarkson:** I think part of it was the adjustments Milwaukee made at halftime. They tightened up their perimeter defense, and we got a bit tentative. We have to keep playing confidently and looking for each other. When we share the ball, good looks will come.
**Interviewer:** Losing 22 turnovers is tough for any team. How do you think the team can improve in this area moving forward?
**Jordan Clarkson:** That’s something we really need to focus on in practice. Turnovers kill our momentum and give the other team easy chances. We need to be smarter with our decisions and make sure we’re not forcing things. A lot of those turnovers were unforced, so just keeping our heads up and being patient will help.
**Interviewer:** With the overall performance of the team in mind, what’s the plan for the upcoming games? How do you think you can bounce back?
**Jordan Clarkson:** We need to regroup and go back to the fundamentals. We have to remember what works for us as a team and communicate better on both ends of the floor. Every game is a new opportunity, and we can’t dwell on this one. We’ll come back stronger.
**Interviewer:** Thank you, Jordan! We’re looking forward to seeing you and the Jazz bounce back in the next game.
**Jordan Clarkson:** Thank you! We appreciate the support. We’ll get it figured out.
