Game 76: Utah Jazz (29-46) vs Cleveland Cavaliers (45-30)

The Donovan Mitchell returns. The Jazz will have several players out probably for the rest of the season. The Cavs could use a W for seeding purposes and the Jazz could use a L for the same reason so it's not hard to see where this goes.

After being out for two weeks, Mitchell had not yet regained his shooting touch the last two games, but with our luck, he will rediscover his shooting touch tonight. :lol:

The last time Mitchell was here, he dropped 46 points on us, but the Jazz won the game!

I would love to see former Cav Sexton be the most efficient scoring guard on the court tonight. Sexton is coming in to the game with an impressive 11 consecutive 20+ point per games on 62.3TS%.

Mitchell was ruled out of tonight's game for left-knee-injury maintenance.

Kessler has no rebounds in the first...... How is that even possible? Cleveland shooting 68%, that's how.......

I am down to cherry picking tiny slices of the season to find something positive to post: Over the last ten games, rookie Taylor Hendricks is averaging 10.9 pts on 8.4 fga, 41.2 3p%, 61.0 TS%, 5.7 rebs, 1 blk and 0.7 tovs.

Hendricks and the Sensei were pretty good, and it looks like the Sensei is starting to regain his shooting touch. Sucks about Kessler breaking his nose, dude can't catch a break this season.

At the 1:25 mark Hendricks makes a sweet pivot move for the easy layup. He keeps getting better. 18 points again last night.

41.3% 3 point shooting is good for a big defensive player. 11 points and 5.7 rebounds is good.

Taylor keeps adding good plays to his game,,,,,,,,he missed 4 close shots, he could have scored 26 points last night.
