The Jazz are outscoring their opponents in the paint by 8.4 points per 100 possessions, the second-highest difference in the league, behind only Miami. But the Heat's paint dominance comes more from defense, while Utah's comes more from offense. No team scores a greater percentage of its points in the paint than the Jazz (49.4 percent).

the Jazz have once again been one of the best fourth-quarter teams in the league, strong on both ends of the floor.

================================================================================

The Jazz are 2nd in the league in differential of Points in the Paint. Last year we were the weak sister and about 27th in rebounding. Now we are strong.

BEST 4th quarter team.

In only one of their 13 games (Saturday's easy win over the Nets) have the Jazz been outscored in the fourth quarter. Overall, they're outscoring their opponents by a remarkable 22.4 points per 100 possessions in the final 12 minutes.
