A goal for every NBA team is to develop the kind of cohesiveness the Utah Jazz have already built over a multi-season span, relying on a core group to gel into a unit currently dominating at both ends of the floor. While describing what’s made Utah (27-7) the NBA’s premier team this season, New Orleans reserve guard Nickeil Alexander-Walker complimented the Jazz’s chemistry, something the Pelicans would love to achieve in the future with more time together on the court.
“They move the ball really well, they play together, and like Steven (Adams) said, they’ve been together so long,” Alexander-Walker said of the Jazz after Monday’s morning shootaround.
