JAzz 64 Nuggets 51 with 6:39 left in the 3rd
Here is the key to the game. Nuggets have the 3rd highest catch and shoot 3 pt rate in NBA and make 37% catch and shoot 3s. Make just 30% off the bounce. Jazz not doubling Jokic to prevent C/S 3. Nuggets are 3 of 15 from 3 all C/S
Jazz 84 Nuggets 77 with 9:18 left in the 4th quarter
Denver coming downhill at the Jazz on high pick and roll time and time again because Jazz aren’t leaving the shooters. Denver aggressively attacking rim.
Fatigue becomes a huge part of this game.
Jazz 111 Nuggets 104 Final Score
The Jazz exploit the Nuggets weaknesses. Take 13 corner 3s and eliminate the Nuggets 3 point game off Jokic action. Jokic only makes 1 assist for a 3 point shot tonight
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.
