Thunder 7 Jazz 6 with 6:54 left in the 1st quarter
Clear these teams know each other and what they want to do.
Paul George last 10 games is shooting 35% and 25% from three
Russell Westbrook last 10 games scoring 32 points a game, 47% from field and 38% from three
Thunder 26 Jazz 21 with 10:00 2nd quarter
Have a feeling the Ingles/Favors pick and roll may have run its course. Teams are defending Joe differently with the ball and he is having a tough time getting into the pick with Favors to have that play develop, NBA Scouting is awesome
The NBA has either no idea what a call is or know exactly what they are doing – Offense wins
Royce O’Neale fouled Paul George on fastbreak
Paul George shoved off on Thabo Sefolosha on a drive
Steven Adams just forearmed Gobert out of the way to get a hook
Calls all went to Offense
Donovan fouled driving to the basket will not count as shot attempts so the Last 9 Jazz shots a threes (2 for 9)
and 10 of last 11
Paul George is 1 for 6 tonight. Last 10 games – 35% FG and 25% 3p
He does this once a month each year
March 2018 38% and 29%
Feb 2017 39% and 33% from three
Dec 2015 37% and 36% from three
Thunder 53 Jazz 43 with 9:59 left in 3rd quarter
Jazz way back in this game is making threes. 6 of 27
Thunder 58 Jazz 51 with 5:49 in the 3rd quarter
Jazz making a bit of a surge
Went on a 13-3 run.
2nd half Donovan is stirring. 6 pts in the quarter
Rudy Gobert with 10 points in the quarter -15 in the game
Thunder 77 Jazz 63 End of 3
Thunder this year with a 10 point lead in the 4th quarter are 34-0
The Utah Jazz are 1-20 when trailing by 10 in the 4th
Thunder 80 Jazz 70 with 9:50 left
Jazz really miss Ricky Rubio tonight
In last two games v. Thunder Jazz pick and roll with Rubio was 1.28 pts per play. With Ingles was .89 and with Mitchell .78
It shows tonight
Thunder 89 Jazz 80
Jazz defense has been great . Jazz defensive rating under 100
Thunder 98 Jazz 89
Jazz offense couldn’t get it going.
13 of 43 from three
Jazz 3 of 14 on mid range shots
Anything higher than the 6th seed would take something really extraordinary.

Biggest concern for 21-22 Utah Jazz, Tony Jones on how the Jazz get better and 5 teams in West that could play in or win it
David Locke, radio voice of the Utah Jazz and Jazz NBA Insider, brings you the daily podcast on the Utah Jazz, Locked On Jazz. Today, Locke opens the show with his biggest worry for the Utah Jazz season. Carrer years last year by Joe Ingles and Mike Conley could be hard to replicate as they both turn 34 years old in the upcoming weeks. Other players like Bojan Bogdanovic and Jordan Clarkson didn’t have career years and could match what they did or improve.
Then Locke is joined by the Athletic’s Tony Jones to continue the talk about 5 teams in the West that could play in the play in game and also could win the West. They did into Jason Kidd and Luke Doncic and how that impacts the Dallas Mavericks. They talk about the growth of Michael Porter Jr. and the Denver Nuggets.
Then they look at the Utah Jazz and how they can get better this year. Tony and Locke review game 6 v. the Clippers and then think about how the addition of Rudy Gay can help the Utah Jazz.
Thanks for making Locked On Jazz your first listen of the day
David Locke, radio voice of the Utah Jazz and Jazz NBA Insider, brings you the daily podcast on the Utah Jazz, Locked On Jazz. On Today’s episode Locke opens up by looking at the ESPN NBA predictions about who will be the breakout teams, the MVP and the win totals in the West.
Locke thinks the MVP listing shows why the Western Conference is wide open this year. Do you believe Donovan Mitchell is just as likely to carry a team in a playoff series as Luka Doncic or Devin Booker or even LeBron James at this point? That is what makes the West so wide open.
Locke is joined by Tony Jones of the Athletic to and they just go hog wild around the NBA from what the Wolves should do for Ben Simmons to if the Los Angeles Lakers are going to be good. It is all part of the summer interview series on Locked On Jazz.
