Not single digits but close enough.
Utah doesnt have a potent enough offense to put this game away.
If this was GSW/CLE/Houston/SAS this game would be over by now, but you can claw back against Utah. They don't have the firepower to stretch leads over long periods. If Gobert or Favors transforms into AD, we will be in trouble though.

Assuming we play a competent form of basketball the second half. That’s not a given.

This is a very bad offense.

This is a good defense.

Utah is hitting some pretty ridiculous shots.

Melo made in this half some of his career most beautiful defensive plays.

If they interview Donovan in the third and he says 'I thought we played well defensively' I will hide Wayne Brady to fly to Utah and choke a bitch.

Atleast we get a male polestripper act for the halftimeshow.

Agreed. This might just be a wacky night for bball.

We aren’t bad. Everything is just forced. This is just part of the growing pains but it’s hard to accept it in the moment. We are trying to share the ball. It’s just not working. Melo doesn’t need to shoot 14 shots in a half. That’s got to change.

I get mad even when Dre makes a three.

Can we not watch the game from the angle of someone’s iPhone in the stands?

Russ goes 1/4 from the FT line in the span of about 30 seconds. Could be a 3-point game right now.

Russ feels for Utah after Hayward leaving. That's the only explanation.

Ricky Bleeping Rubio has hit two or three mid-range jumpers and two threes.

This guy isn't supposed to be able to shoot.

We still can't completely get out of our own way. Russ misses 3 of 4 FTs in about 30 seconds, we get whistled for a defensive three seconds and Rubio hits the FT, Adams immaturely shoves Ingles going into a timeout and gets T'd up.

We had it down to four and it's getting ready to be 10 again just like that.

Forty six points from Vic and Sabonis combined.
