Game 24: Utah Jazz (7-16) vs New York Knicks (13-9)

[Inigo Montoya]

Clarkson is listed as OUT.
Markkanen, Collins and Kessler as listed as GTD.

Hopefully we'll get Markkanen back. I could use some good basketball to watch from the Jazz.

Good minutes from Hendricks! Jazz take a two point lead in to halftime.

Pretty good second quarter. Hendricks has had some really solid moments.

[Crunch 99]

Sexton is outplaying Brunson.

Jazz have a chance to win. I forgot what this was like.

1. Pretty fun game but for some reason it looked like the crowd was very quiet all game long.
2. Another good defensive game by Fontecchio. He was all over the place in the first quarter.
3. Sexton was very good in his first start of the season. I'd like to see what he can do as a starter in a stretch of games.
4. Kessler was ok but he still looks much different than last season.
5. Jazz had a nice run in the 4th and it looked like they had put the game away, but then Hardy made some subs and the lead shrunk. Not sure the substitutions were the reason and not the Knicks fighting back into the game but the Jazz had a good thing going and I thought that messing with it was a mistake.
6. Not sad about the Knicks trade falling through--I'd take Markkanen over Barrett any day.

Notwithstanding Keyonte having his season high for points recently, I am not totally unhappy that both Keyonte and Clarkson may be out the next few games, because it means more minutes and opportunities for Dunn and Sexton. Given 18 minutes last night, Dunn shined.

Rookie Hendricks is bringing some defensive presence to the Jazz. Go Jazz!

I'm with you.

I want to like Keyonte, but I think his impact is not positive although he can score.

I think Hendricks is having a better impact and yesterday with Olynyk and Dunn sharing the ball, we looked better.

Yesterday the more defensive minded players had those numbers:

Kessler +3
Dunn +13
Agbaji +16
Hendricks +25

They, but Kessler, will be benched for sure. To get more that +10 on +- is a bench sentence in contemporary Utah basketball.

Hendricks was good.
