On the surface, it seems like the answer is obvious. The Jazz currently rank 27th in the league in turnovers, their lowest league rank in any statistical category. In Utah’s 1-point loss against Oklahoma City, the Jazz committed 25 turnovers; while in their 16-point win over Dallas, they committed only seven. Check and mate, right?
“The thing that’s interesting about that — how many points did we score [Friday] night? We scored more than any team in Jazz history in 40 years. We scored 129 in regulation. The execution is more than turnovers," Snyder said. The 147 points the Jazz scored was the highest scoring performance by the team since April 1982, when they played the wildly pacey Denver Nuggets in a 151-136 Jazz win.
