AJ Dybantsa in general has a harder time getting to the rim 1-on-1 than I expected early... can get cut off by defenders and then doesn't have the shake to slide past. HOWEVER: when he is cut off, he's been great at just rising and firing and making, or finding an open guy

Kyle Anderson and Taylor Hendricks have both been upgrade to available vs. the Lakers tonight.

Kyle Filipowski was added to the injury report for tonight's game, will miss it due to a right wrist sprain.

Even Klay in his GSW prime averaged 10-15 more dribbles per game while averaging 8-10 fewer points per game than Lauri is averaging now

Lauri Markkanen dribbles the ball significantly less than any other top scorer in the NBA

Vucevic's shot just misses, and Jazz win 150-147! Big celebrations for Keyonte George with his teammates after this one. Markkanen had 47. George had 34. Collier and Sensabaugh both had 16.

Keyonte George hits a 3! Jazz up 150-147, 0.8 seconds left!

Coby White sinks both FTs. So, tie game, Jazz ball, 8.4 seconds left to try to win.

Alright, we're back here again: Bulls ball, down 2, 147-145. This time, 20.4 seconds left in 2OT.

These last few Jazz offensive possessions have featured near-zero ball movement, they seem gassed.

Reviewing this foul on Dosunmu for a landing spot flagrant... if it is, overtime could be tilted heavily in Utah's favor.

Coby White game-tying layup! Double overtime!

This has been very yackety saxy. It's now Bulls ball after a jump ball, 5.6 seconds left in overtime. Jazz up 136-134.

What a wacky sequence there. George had the ball poked away, Collier recovered in backcourt, lost it, and then the Bulls threw away their chance to tie. Jazz ball again, up 2, 12.6 seconds left.

Keyonte George misses the potential game-winning basket, and we have overtime. Felt like the Jazz should have forced it to Markkanen there.

Jazz force a miss, and will have some number of seconds to win this game. Clock stands at 1.7 right now, but Hardy called timeout sooner. 127-127.

Lauri Markkanen, man. 42 points against his old team, and had a huge block a couple of possessions back too.

That was an INCREDIBLE pass from Sensabaugh to Markkanen, the best pass of his career

Ace Bailey fouls out. I don't think that's right, think that should have been on Sensabaugh. But Bailey fouls out after only 10 minutes tonight.

Jazz, down 15 in the 3Q, have come all the way back to take a 104-101 lead, 9:05 left. It's been Isaiah Collier and Brice Sensabaugh leading the way in the 4Q — Collier's pace and Sensabaugh's shooting killing the Bulls.

Markkanen at 30 points with 2:04 left in the 3Q, which means he's already at his season average of 29.4. That currently ranks 6th in the NBA in PPG this year.

Ace Bailey picks up his 5th foul 19 seconds into the 2H, and Cody Williams will check in to replace him.

Bulls up 70-61 at the half. Super fast-paced game, also, the Jazz aren't good defensively. But, as has been a theme all year long, Lauri Markkanen is quite good, he has 18 points at halftime.

Gail Goodrich went 4/12 on layups worth $250 for charity during the timeout... I don't feel as if we needed that :(

Two more top-10 picks for OKC?

Jazz beat Pacers 152-128, Indiana goes to 1-10, Jazz are 4-7. Markkanen: 35 points on 13-19 FG. Ace Bailey: 20 points in 26 minutes, didn't play much in the 2H. Svi Mykhailiuk: 20 points, 8-10 FG. Isaiah Collier: 14p/11a.

152 points is the most by any team in the NBA this season; 4th-highest Jazz scoring night of all time.

Pacers are down to 1 timeout remaining, but you understand why given how poorly they've played. Jazz up 100-78, 4:29 3Q.

Jazz up 70-57 at halftime on the Pacers. Ace Bailey has 17, including the buzzer-beating tip-in to end the half.

Ace Bailey's having his best-ever NBA game! 13 points, 8:36 left 2Q. Finished a stepback 3 in transition, then a pass ahead dunk.

Cody Williams checks in at the 6 minute mark, looks like he'll be in the rotation tonight.

8th-year NBA and former Jazz center Tony Bradley starts tonight's game for the Pacers

At the SLC Stars opener today at the Delta Center. 8:47 left in the 3Q, Stars up 77-52, Oscar Tshiebwe has 23/10 already. Elijah Harkless only has 6 points, but is a +28, which is his usual thing. Surprised not to see Cody Williams here — he obviously could use the run.

Minnesota beats Utah 120-113. Keyonte George had 27, Markkanen 21. Ace Bailey had 10/7/2 in his first NBA start, plus three steals. Jazz play ECF champion Indiana tomorrow on the B2B. See you then!

Jusuf Nurkic is 2-11, which is really hard to do on his shot diet. Has had some cool passes though.

Well, the Jazz are losing this quarter 30-7.

Good defense is so important for the Jazz because taking the ball out from underneath means teams can full-court press Keyonte, which works really well.

One thing a couple of other NBA arenas have that I wish the Jazz would introduce is some sort of signal or countdown timer during halftime to let fans know when to return to their seats. Right now, so much of the Delta Center lower bowl is empty when play begins in the 3Q.

Also, I wouldn't have bet that Ace Bailey's first super useful NBA skill was going to be crashing the glass, but it has been for him.

Jazz up 55-53 at the half. Keyonte George has 16, Markkanen 15. Honestly think it's important for the Jazz to get home and play competitive basketball this week after that road trip.

Jazz are playing really well, especially defensively. They're shading so so well, making every Minnesota drive an adventure. Just a night and day difference from their last game in Minnesota on Friday.

Kevin Love doing Kevin Love things for the Jazz in 2025: rebounding, 3-point shots, terrific outlet passes.

Svi 0-6 so far in his first 6 minutes plus a turnover. I would like to turn the Svi knob down a notch or two.

A mere 24-ish hours after scheduling this to publish, it looks like Tyronn Lue and the LA Clippers have reached this same conclusion: John Collins is in the starting lineup for the first time this season, and Kris Dunn will join him.

Kyle Anderson (back soreness) and Taylor Hendricks (hamstring soreness) are both out for the Jazz vs. Minnesota tonight, Jazz say.

Wolves beat Jazz 137-97. Hey, but they only lost the second half by six. Good news: Road trip over. Bad news: They play this same Minnesota team Monday. See you then!

Jazz down 94-54. 6:51 left in the 3Q.

Jazz are down 43-15 at the end of the 1Q. Suffice it to say that things are not going great with the Utah Jazz at the moment. The other problem for Utah: because this is an NBA Cup game, the Wolves have an incentive to run up the score. So.

Nurkic pulled to the ground by Gobert, no call, Hardy incensed, runs out on the court, gets the tech. Wolves are up 26-6.

Timeout, Hardy, as Jazz get out to a 10-2 deficit early.
