“It feels like nearly every game the UtahJazz have been in this season has been a close one — no blowouts really either way,” writes Salt Lake Tribune beat writer AndyBLarsen.
The Jazz defense mob Philadelphia 76ers center Montrezl Harrell under the net as the Utah Jazz host the Philadephia 76ers at Vivint Arena, Jan. 13, 2023.Three thoughts on the Utah Jazz’s 118-117 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers from Salt Lake Tribune beat writer Andy Larsen.It feels like nearly every game the Jazz have been in this season has been a close one — no blowouts really either way.
It is my opinion that these close minutes and games are probably better for player development than blowouts. For example, Lauri Markkanen had to deal with being double teamed against the Magic — I’m not sure any NBA team has doubled Markkanen before in clutch minutes. And, truthfully, he struggled: at one point, he threw a pass that was intercepted for a dunk the other way .
It’s been part of what’s made this season more fun than expected, and probably more profitable in the long run, too. Malik Beasley has had a rough last five games: he’s shooting 28% from the field, and 20% from deep. It’s easier said than done, but if Beasley can just let the game come to him and take his open shots, he’ll be just fine.Typically, an arena naming rights announcement does not engender terrific excitement among beat writers. It’s money changing hands for a sponsorship, business as usual.
