Good to see Exum turn it around a little bit.

He's shooting 53.6% from the field on 15/28 shooting in the last 4 games.

In the previous 17 games he was on a massive slump, shooting 23% from the field on 18/78 shooting.

It's good to see Exum playing at all. He's a baby in terms of NBA experience and readiness, and yet he's getting better as the season winds down. Realistically he should be barely on the court, plus he hit the rookie wall like a truck. . . and yet somehow he's not only playing through it, he's getting better with each game. Future is bright with this team!

He grabs all the rebounds now. Favors doesn't even bother try.

That worries me BTW. Seems like Favors defers on the defensive glass to Gobert and that was about to cost us this game. He needs to be focused and engaged on the glass. He had 1 rebound in 35 minutes, that's not good.
 
Went To the jazz game, thanks to being a uvu student so I got 6 tickets for free. They were lower bowl 16th row as well!
Here are some of my thoughts.

Biggest plays:
Exum chasing down that lose ball and getting it too Hood. He just flew down the court.
Goberts pass to a cutting Hayward and dunk. Love that Gobert can pass too!
Trey Burkes floater to give us a 3 point lead. Glad he made it with how bad he's been.
The fans were so loud during these plays it was sweet.

I really liked watching Exum, he's getting better you guys. He's making plays that he wouldn't have a could months ago. Liked that floater too.

Favors was dominating and hitting free throws! It was great to see.

Overall glad we got the win in a tough game
 
This was the 7th game I went to this year. Loudest by far. Not even close.
 
The Jazz were clutch offensively down the stretch. Would've been nice to get some stops in the 4th quarter, sure, but closing out a game offensively is a monster step for this team.

Eh, I'm not worried yet. I think fighting over the same rebounds to pad stats (ala Lance Stephenson) would be worse. And by letting Gobert get the obvious boards he can save that energy and use it on offense, which is what I felt like he did tonight.
