Jazz 41 Pelicans 35 with 7:09 left in the 2nd quarter
Georges Niang playing so well it is like there are two of him (haha)
He has been great. Hit a three. Drove and drew a foul. Super open floor defense on Holliday and got into Mirotic and denied him.
Jazz 41 Pelicans 35 with 7:09 left in 2nd quarter
Pace of play in this game is 110 possessions.

Jazz defensive rating right now is 80.6
Ricky Rubio who came into game 7 of 32 is 5 of 7
Halftime Jazz 64 Pelicans 49
Ricky Rubio has 20 points
Rudy Gobert with 16

Jazz 77 Pelicans 57 with 7:25 left in the 3rd quarter
Rudy Gobert is dunking and dunking and dunking and dunking
A lot of this is no Anthony Davis but the Pelicans were allowing opponents to shot 42% of their shots at the rim before the rim
Jazz 104 Pelicans 85 10:16 left in the 4th quarter
Pelicans have cleared the bench
Jazz doing the same progressively
Jazz v. Dallas tomorrow at 5pm
Jazz 106 Pelicans 92 with 8:20 left
Not done yet. Pelicans making a little run with a lot of energy from the back of their bench. Jazz have gone back to Rubio, Mitchell, Crowder and Gobert with Grayson Allen
Final Score – Jazz 132 Pelicans 111
The Jazz fell short in the second half as the Toronto defense shut the new-look Jazz down in route to cruising to an 114 – 82 Raptors victory. Lauri Markkanen shined for the Jazz with 20 points and 5 rebounds but the Raptors length and athleticism proved to be too much for the Jazz riding a dominant 3rd quarter to pull away from the Jazz who played well in the first half, only trailing by one.

Then Locke looks into what did we really get in this trade and what are the possibilities of benefit for trading one of the great players in franchise history. A look at each of the 5 first round picks and what they could become and the margin starts to expand the farther out you go. Then are the Utah Jazz re-building? Why now would be the question.
