The Utah Jazz (3-3) won Game 5 even though they shot poorly. They lost Game 6 by shooting even worse. This is not a good trend because from the data we’ve already looked at we know that the Jazz aren’t taking bad shots. They aren’t bricking contested jumpers. Far from it. They just aren’t hitting wide open shots, shots they’ve hit all season long.
Quin Snyder’s offense is about sharing the ball and making that extra pass to the open shooter. We’ve seen this team win almost 55 games this year (51 in the regular season, 3 so far in the NBA Playoffs) by doing exactly that.
