Cody Williams Knocks Down A Pair Of Fourth Quarter Threes For Jazz

SALT LAKE CITY- Despite the Denver Nuggets making a little bit of a run to start the third quarter, Cody Williams and the Utah Jazz have bounced back strong with Nikola Jokic off the floor to close the margin.
On a night when rookies for the Jazz have been making plays all over the floor, first-year player Cody Williams decided to throw two big-time buckets of his own.
Both were three-pointers that came in the opening minutes of the fourth quarter. The first came at the 10:15 mark and was assisted by Jordan Clarkson.
Cody’s second was a big one to cut the Denver lead to three. Kyle Filipowski was dribbling near the free-throw line being guarded by Peyton Watson. Williams stood on the wing unguarded and open to receive the Filipowski pass. Cody stepped into the three-pointer and knocked it down to make the score 105-102 in favor of the Nuggets.
