The Utah Jazz defeated the Indiana Pacers 152–128 on November 11 at Delta Center, with Lauri Markkanen leading all scorers with 35 points in a dominant home performance. The Jazz shot 55.4 percent from the field and made 19 three-pointers, controlling the tempo with 38 assists and a 140.2 offensive rating that overwhelmed Indiana's 122.2 defensive rating. Svi Mykhailiuk added 20 points off the bench as Utah's third-quarter surge proved decisive—the Jazz outscored the Pacers 44–34 in that frame to build a commanding lead. Indiana's Pascal Siakam (27 points) and Andrew Nembhard (25 points) provided consistent scoring, but the Pacers' 46.5 field-goal percentage and 10 three-pointers made fell well short of Utah's offensive efficiency. The Jazz's 45 rebounds and 38 assists reflected balanced ball movement, while Indiana's six steals and blocks highlighted defensive effort that couldn't overcome the shooting disparity. Utah's decisive victory demonstrates offensive firepower that could prove important in Western Conference standings.
