My J-Notes partner-in-crime Jared Woodcox called it — the Utah Jazz’s Friday night bout with De’Aaron Fox and the Sacramento Kings was a trap game through and through. And, make no mistake about it, the Jazz band got caught, particularly in one crucial phase of the game.
Although the Kings won the rebounding battle by just two boards overall, they absolutely hammered the Jazz on the offensive glass. All told, Sacramento racked up 11 offensive rebounds, include one by Harrison Barnes in the contest’s waning seconds that resulted in a game-winning put-back.
And, to add insult to injury (or vice-versa), the game wasn’t the only thing that was lost by the Jazz in the process.
