Game 25: Utah Jazz (13-11) vs Indiana Pacers (12-9)

The Pacers have a nice team, and are usually fun to watch. Traditionally, they also manage to embarrass the Jazz on a regular basis.

They have a really nice young core with Haliburton and Mathurin.

Good run to close out the 2nd..... The team didn't fold after losing a big lead..... That's progress.......

I liked seeing the 29 assist number. It seemed like all the Jazz players played well. Go Jazz!

The refs were calling way too many fouls.
Obviously everyone played well and was really impressed by Kessler tonight. That Rudy trade just keeps looking better and better.

It was a pretty fun game until the refs decided to blow the whistle every possession in the second half.

Solid game for Markkanen, Clarkson and Sexton. Kessler was really good once again, and the team plays better when he's on the floor, our defense doesn't suck. More minutes for Kessler please.

Yes they did.
That 3rd quarter foul circus was unwatchable **** if that truly is the level where NBA's game officiating is then it is freaking lousy.
Kessler played well and was very impressive it is matter of time when Kessler replaces Vanderbilt in starting lineup.

Great team win from Indiana and really good game for whole team.
2nd quarters 21-5 run in last 4,5 minutes was the key for this 20 point win.

Tonight show goes on again when Trailblazers are coming visit.
Lillard probably won't play and if he truly is out that game probably is 3rd straight win.
But Jerami Grant is a guy who can steal and turn that game for Trailblazers win especially if he gets hot into first half.

Kessler is doing great. He is giving 50% of gobert at 5% of his salary.

Another double-double for the Finnisher but I agree, kudos to Kessler too.

At this point I see no reason for this team to tank even for a single game.

I like the quote- it makes me chuckle. And it was/is pretty much true.
