Utah Jazz Play Best Game Of Season In Decimation of Trail Blazers
Dec 6, 2024, 10:33 PM | Updated: Dec 9, 2024, 7:28 pm
PORTLAND – The Utah Jazz could do no wrong in Mode Center on Friday as they blew out the Portland Trail Blazers to pick up their fifth win of the season.
It was Utah’s best game of the year and there is no performance to really contest that. The Jazz shot 55.2 percent from the floor, 43.8 percent from three, and 91.3 percent from the free throw line.
Nine players scored in double figures, with two reaching the 20-point mark.
Utah will head south to take on the Kings in Sacramento before returning home to host the Phoenix Suns.

Great start for the @utahjazz on both ends in Portland.
The Jazz have as many blocks as the @trailblazers have points.

One of the more surprising things this year is how enjoyable it is to watch John Collins play.
His athleticism is popping a lot more this year than last, and even the random blocks and low post moves have been fun.

ICYMI: John Collins is the first Jazz player since the three-point was introduced in 1979-80 to be shooting 50.0%/40.0%/90.0% through 20 games played in a season.

Keyonte George has made some nice defensive plays tonight.
He may not evolve into a high-level defender, but he should be able to make some plays like has in Portland.

I am making up a stat and falsely identifying the leader…
but Walker Kessler has to have the most blocks leading to dunks (blunks) in the NBA.
It’s a pretty awesome skill to block a shot, beat everyone down the floor, and have it result in a dunk.
