Utah Jazz

Anthony Edwards' game-high 30 points wasn't enough as Malik Beasley, Jarred Vanderbilt and the Jazz take down the Wolves.

But Utah couldn’t secure a board, opening up the chance for Towns to find a wide open Gobert in the paint slipping a double-drag screen. The Wolves have plenty of things to sort out that are of greater importance than their end-of-game pecking order, but they can’t neglect it down the stretch of the season. So I wanted to try to be as aggressive as possible and dictate the game.” After Mike Conley drained a tough go-ahead 3 with 1:01 left to give Utah a 128-126 lead, Russell finally attempted the first non-Towns shot with 41 seconds left in the five-minute period. He scored the first bucket of OT, but Clarkson answered the bell with a 3 of his own. He tried to make up for it early in the fourth, getting up six shots in the first 3:47 of game time after shooting eight times in his first 16:46 played. 1 overall sensed he needed to take control of the game; Edwards poured in Minnesota’s first 11 points of the quarter before he passed the baton to Nowell. That set in motion, with 1:54 to play, everyone’s favorite game: ‘Who can get out of the ABC ramps first?’ “So I think that’s part of the learning process for us, just learning how to like, when you get up 12, try to keep your foot on the gas, keep doing the little things. Although Utah made seven of their 21 attempts in the frame, a respectable 33% clip from a defensive perspective, the Jazz capitalized on long rebounding opportunities by corralling six of those 14 misses and cashing them in for 10 points. The Wolves, in each of their first two games, put those defensive habits on display in bursts. Between allowing four 3s, committing four turnovers that led to nine of those 12 points, and giving up three offensive rebounds in only 3:10 of play, the Wolves deservedly found themselves trailing for the first time, 69-68.

The Minnesota Timberwolves hosted the Utah Jazz Friday night, welcoming back a few familiar faces. Former Timberwolves Jarred Vanderbilt, Malik Beasley, ...

They have the personnel to be successful, but they’ll need to figure out some new strategies. For the game, Minnesota gave up 20 threes and allowed the Jazz to shoot 40% from outside. In implementing better defensive schemes, Chris Finch should be able to get more out of his players and allow his group’s defensive talent to shine. When he played with the Utah Jazz, Gobert was obviously a defensive stalwart. In all, this loss revealed one of the Timberwolves’ most glaring flaws: their defense. The Jazz outscored Minnesota by 10 in the third frame.

It wasn't the greatest of starts for Utah on Friday night. Before the first timeout, the Jazz found themselves down 15-3 as Minnesota, a team with high ...

"They're all bought into the fact that we have a lot of guys with this team again that can dribble, pass and shoot." This is a team that cares for one another and plays for one another." Don't forget, Minnesota traded for Rudy Gobert with the hopes of contending for a title this year. He's playing with a lot of different players, and so he's finding his shots and his spots a little bit differently than he has in the past." Would Utah continue trading its veterans with the hopes of securing a top pick in the draft, quickly restarting the supposed "rebuild?" Utah completely battered Denver on Wednesday night, holding off an attempted comeback with a switch-heavy defense and spaced-out offense. Utah settled into the game, using a physical and switch-heavy defense to climb back into it. Not only are his shooting numbers better across the road, but he's also showing the evolution of his game as a playmaker and rebounder. That's been a recipe for success, so expect the Jazz to continue using the same formula. "He's in a different role this year than he has been the last couple of years, and that's an adjustment. Rather than mailing it in, the Jazz proved that they would fight for the full 48 minutes — and five minutes of overtime, if needed. But he was even better at doing the small things to help get the win.

Mike Conley and Jordan Clarkson played key roles down the stretch for the Utah Jazz against Rudy Gobert and the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The Jazz had just gotten lucky with Gobert missing what could have been an easy dunk if he’d decided to use his full strength over the top of Conley. He wants to win.” “Winning plays come in a variety of packages throughout an NBA season,” Hardy said. “I didn’t plan on having to fly over there and do all that. “Just a little.” MINNEAPOLIS — Friends are often more ruthless and more willing to needle a person than anyone else.
