Jazz Bench Duo Makes History with Triple-Doubles
11 Apr
Summary
- Two Utah Jazz bench players achieved triple-doubles in the same game.
- This historic feat marks the first time in NBA history for a bench pair.
- The Jazz secured a dominant 146-101 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies.
The Utah Jazz closed out their home season with a commanding 146-101 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on "Fan Appreciation Night." This commanding win was made even more remarkable by a historic performance from the bench.
Veteran John Konchar and rookie Bez Mbeng achieved triple-doubles in the same game, a first in NBA history for a pair of bench players. Both players capitalized on extended minutes due to the team's nine-player injury list.
Mbeng recorded 27 points, 11 rebounds, and 11 assists in 38 minutes for his first career triple-double. Konchar secured his third career triple-double and second consecutive, following a similar performance in the previous game.
These two triple-doubles bring the Jazz's season total to six, a significant increase compared to previous seasons. With one game remaining against the LA Lakers, the team has a final opportunity to add to this impressive individual stat line.
