PORTLAND — The final score at the Moda Center read 123-111 in the Utah Jazz’s favor on Sunday night, but head coach Quin Snyder had nothing to celebrate.
Even after a come-from-behind effort, where the reserves closed it out on a 24-8 run, Snyder still sees holes to correct, notably on the defensive end.
“I didn’t think we played well,” Snyder said, after the Jazz improved to 4-0 in the preseason. “We didn’t play good defense and a lot of it was just not being focused. There were breakdowns, and I didn’t think we had the level of intensity that we needed on the defensive end.
