Game Thread: Game #3: Utah Jazz at Indiana, Saturday October 31st 5:00 PM MST (Happy Halloween!!)

Fouls usually average out. I think part is the refs dont want to call on side (even if one side is fouling way more) and the Jazz stopped grabbing (the European way of stopping fastbreaks sounds smart, but those fouls rack up and all of the sudden you are in the penalty against super athletes, it might just not be a viable NBA strategy, at least not early in a quarter).

Favors not trying to force it in the 2nd half also helped.

Told you bruh. They might actually get beat.

Good game from Burke. I hope he can be this way consistently.

Back end of a road-road back-to-back against a rested team. Usually that spells second half disaster. Quality win, even if the Pacers are incredibly thin.

Trey with his second straight decent game. If Lyles keeps playing like this, does Quin just increase the minutes of Favors, Gobert and Booker, or does he try someone else out as the 4th big?

Loved Pacers color guy Quinn Buckner's comment at end of the game:


man....I told you before the game. That Gobert is problem. It's just....he's so big....He's a problem

The odd stat was only 15 assists by the team -- they looked better than that.

Give Pleiss another shot, there's no way he's worse than Lyles.

Uhh, I think the Pacers played last night?

NVM they played Thursday.

Have you seen Pleiss? He is way worse.

True, but they only had 4 at halftime - second half much better.

Jazz had 15 total assists and 9 of them came from the front court (Gobert, Favors, Hayward and Ingles). That's interesting, I'd like to see another 10 or so a game to get into the mid 20s.

3 point shot showed up tonight, 40%

Jazz still low 70s in FT%. Need to improve.

Won the rebounding game 47-34.

Jazz with 13 steals, that's really good.

Jazz are crushing it this season on D so far.
