On March 8, the NBA regular season continued, and the Utah Jazz challenged the Toronto Raptors away. In this game, Jazz guard Keyonte George had a bad touch, only 4 of 14 shots , and only 1 of 8 three-pointers. Although he scored 9 points through free throws and finally scored 18 points , 6 rebounds , 8 assists and 1 steal, he was unable to help the team win. The Jazz lost to the Raptors 109-118 and suffered a defeat .

In this game, George's shooting efficiency became one of the Jazz's offensive weaknesses. He made only 4 of 14 shots, with a shooting percentage of only 28.6%. He made only 1 of 8 attempts from beyond the three-point line, with a shooting percentage as low as 12.5%. He had no long-range shooting touch. As an important ball-handler for the team, his inefficient offensive performance made it difficult for the Jazz to open up the game.

Although George's touch in the running game was not good, he relied on his active foul-making ability to get a lot of free throw opportunities. He stood on the free throw line 13 times and hit 9 balls, which accounted for the main source of his points. The Jazz's overall offense was not smooth, and George failed to find the right rhythm in the game. He missed many shots and affected the team's offensive efficiency.

Although George was blocked on the offensive end, his performance on the organizational end is still worthy of recognition. In this game, he sent out a team-high 8 assists, showing his ability as the team's backcourt organizer. He created scoring opportunities for his teammates many times in the game, whether it was breaking through and passing the ball or mobilizing teammates in positional battles, his passing vision and overall view were quite outstanding.

In addition to assists, George also contributed 6 rebounds and completed 1 steal, showing a certain defensive ability. However, his plus-minus value was still -6, indicating that the team's overall performance was not dominant during his time on the court. The Jazz failed to find an effective offensive point at the critical moment of the game, which ultimately led to the loss of the game.

George's growth is crucial for the Jazz. As a rookie who is being trained this season, his organizational skills have been demonstrated, but his offensive stability still needs to be improved. How to adjust the offensive strategy when his shooting touch is not good and find a more efficient way to score will be the key to his future development.

This season, George has shown good ball handling and organizational skills, and his ability to break through and cause damage is gradually improving. However, he still needs to make adjustments in outside shooting and improve the stability of three-pointers in order to further enrich his offensive means and truly become a reliable backcourt core of the team.

The Jazz are currently in a fiercely competitive stage in the Western Conference, and the outcome of each game may affect the team's ranking. George and the Jazz need to adjust their status as soon as possible to avoid falling into more losing streaks. In the next game, whether George can regain his touch and help the team improve its offensive efficiency will become one of the key factors in whether the Jazz can stabilize their record.
