How about the Jazz losing to OKC, which snapped their winning streak?
I saw how good OKC is at making adjustments. Although they were able to lead by as much as 19 points early on, the Jazz came back to make it a close game. However, OKC continued to play hard, not allowing the Jazz to take the lead. In fact, they never led in the game.
OKC's good run started when SGA was sitting; it seems like their offense flows better without him in those minutes. The Jazz also made their own adjustments to trim their deficit to 3, but it seemed like OKC had answers for the Jazz offense. In the end, OKC broke their losing streak and beat a good team on the road.
I watched that whole game and it was one heck of an entertaining game.
It's true that the Jazz didn't even have the chance to take the lead but damn, Sexton and Markkanen were so damn awesome that I cannot take my eyes off them at the final minutes of the game.
Jordan Clarkson also made a very crucial 3-pointer while I thought he will be silent the whole 4th quarter. This Jazz team is so fun to watch and although they lost today, they proved they are strong keeping the game close against the number 2 team in the West. They don't even need to watch the tape again looking for mistakes, they did right, it's just that some of them are not hot in outside shooting. Fontecchio shot a lot of threes but they won't sink in. 2/7.
They can win, they just need to be in good shape next time and maybe fortify their defense. I mean, the Thunder are almost always open in distance shots, the Jazz needs to be faster in recovering their defense if they are switching.
The Knicks game was also fun, the Wizards almost took the game from them. I am glad I took the +10.5 for the Wizards.
Brunson with 41 monster points. Whenever he is around, there's not much worry for the Knicks because they will always have an ace to score for them.
