Three thoughts on the Utah Jazz’s 129-99 win over the Adelaide 36ers from The Salt Lake Tribune’s Jazz beat writer, Andy Larsen.
It didn’t exactly start out well for the Jazz, who actually trailed by as many as eight points in the first quarter. The 36ers were playing an aggressive style of defense that involved pressing early in possessions, then aggressively helping once the Jazz got in half-court.
The Jazz did a good job of passing around the defense, though, and finding open 3-point shooters. Ten of the Jazz’s first 14 shots were from 3-point range, but they just weren’t making them very effectively.
