I really like Derrick Favors approach on the offensive end. He is making his moves with an intention. He has a plan and he is reacting correctly to what the defense is doing.
Two nights in a row Alec Burks has had to leave the game due to foul trouble. Kevin Martin is tough but that should not have happened on Caldwell-Pope. Next step in development.
Not really surprising that Burke was off tonight. Rubio’s length gave him issues.
Not sure what sequence defined the night, Burke double dribbling (uncalled) to Favors who rim checks on the dunk gets it back and misses the next dunk or Jeremy Evans missing three tip-ins from one foot in a span of 4 seconds.
The Ball didn’t move
You could say this is bringing togetherness of a unit to a new level. They all had their worst game of the year together. Not sure that is fair for Favors but he would be the only one I would take out of the collectiveness.
When Burks got two fouls and Hayward was out and the Jazz had to go to Garrett with Clark/Lucas and Rush and Evans and Kanter/Favors it was too much.
See the Wolves on Tuesday.
