The Jazz just got out played. They shot 39.1 on field goals compared to a 53.2, they shot 25.5% on their threes compared to a 38.5. The Jazz couldn't rebound, couldn't block. It surprising that they put up 96. Donovan Mitchell was the team's leading scorer with a laughable 13 points.
After the game, Head coach Quinn Snyder had this to say talking about why they lost tonight, “There’s a long list of things. More than anything, credit to Oklahoma City and the way they defended. They took us out of almost everything we were trying to do. There were some windows where we had some success but then we weren’t able to finish, missed some shots, but this isn’t about missing shots.”
It's nice for the head coach to give credit to the Thunder while admitting his club messed up. Here's what else Snyder had to say.
“There’s a moment where you can make a read and there’s a shot or a drive, but if you’re hesitant in that decision, their quickness and their athleticism play a part. We’ve got guys who are capable of doing those things, but we didn’t do them tonight. We need to take a step back and take a look at the things we need to do better. Some of those things we know right now, but it’s an opportunity to really drive it home and put ourselves in a better position.”
Up next is the Lakers. The Jazz need to play their best against Lebron and company. The Jazz have the talent but do they have the desire and work ethic, that is the question. If the Jazz can't get it done, Lakers Nation all the way down under are going to be laughing at them.
