After going 21-21 from the line against Portland, they went 19-19 against the Hornets.

It has been great to see such great concentration from the line. I am especially impressed with Millsap and Big Al's improvement from a year ago. Big Al shot 68% from the line last year and is at 83% this year, with a nice looking stroke. Millsap is flirting with 80% after shooting 69% last season.

Hope they can keep this up!
 
I don't know how Jefferson could shoot less than 70% from the line. He has a great setup on his free throws. I really like his locking his elbow in and then releasing. Same thing every time. Smooth stroke, too. Should be around 80%.

I'm always surprised when Deron is shooting over 80%. Such a flat free throw. Hits back iron a lot, which is the wrong side of the iron to miss on free throws. What lets him shoot over 80% is that he is able to repeat the motion every time. He has a smaller window to make those free throws, but if you can make it through that window every time, doesn't matter how small it is.
 
Jazz are +6% from the FT this year compared to last.

Jazz lost a couple of games at the FT line last year. That's huge in the packed WC.
