TWITTER THREAD – Thoughts of @lockedonsports throughout the game
Pacers 20 Jazz 12 with 6:51 left in the 1st quarter
Pacers are #1 in the NBA in forcing turnovers in the last 10 games and the Jazz have 5 turnovers in their first 11 possessions. And it should be more if two balls didn’t bounce the right way for the Jazz
Pacers 36 Jazz 27 with 10:04 left in the 2nd quarter
Pacers shot 5 of 6 in the final 7 seconds of the shot clock in the 1st quarter
Pacers are interesting they don’t shoot all lot of threes (26th) but are 5th in the NBA in EFG%. When they shoot the three they make (38%)
Pacers 53 Jazz 39 with 4:01 2nd quarter
Myles Turner hits three straight 17 footers. He shots 41% on mid range shots.
Jazz have not been able to stop the Pacers for nearly 6 quarters. In Indiana the Jazz 2nd worst defensive game of the year with 122 def rtg. Tonight 134
Pacers 71 Jazz 60 with 6:30 left in the 3rd quarter
Pacers end up with a high pick and roll on almost every play and it doesn’t matter who the big is they are having success. Jazz having a really hard time defending the Pacers.
They are beginning to make plays on offense
Pacers 81 Pacers 61 with 3:17 left in the 3rd quarter
In nearly 7 quarters of basketball, the Pacers have outscored the Jazz by 47 points. I think at this point it is fair to say this is a really bad match-up for Utah.
Pacers 89 Jazz 70 end of 3 quarters
Not much to add
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.
