Too many times, the Jazz drove into the midrange and took terrible shots tonight, and they were justly punished for it, going 5-32 from anywhere from four feet to the 3-point arc. That led to the 96 offensive rating, which led to the Jazz’s loss.
That starts with Donovan Mitchell, who from the very first play of the game, was taking iffy floating stuff that I thought he had worked to mitigate from his repertoire. This is a hard shot!
Very nice move by Mitchell here to get into the paint, but kicking it out to the open shooters he can see is a better decision than forcing the floater while moving.
