Token female analyst Doris Burke is calling our game. I think the Jazz are 0-24 when she announces.
If you're unfamiliar with her groundbreaking analysis she was the one who evoked "Michael Jordan's game winning shot in the finals over Craig Ehlo of the Utah Jazz," during a Jazz game a couple seasons ago. After graciously being given the benefit of the doubt by the other announcer, who said, "I believe that was Bryon Russell, right?" Burke didn't correct her self. She insisted it was "Craig Ehlo of the Utah Jazz" and she said how vividly she remembered it.
After an awkward few moments of dead air, the other announcer resumed calling the game as if nothing happened. The producers were probably just like, "move on! move on!" in his ear piece.
Regardless, we should all be lucky get to hear her opinion on the psyche of each player as she often likes to offer up since she's so tight with them.
