Sad loss, we got so close. We had a lot of things working against us including some rough calls (like Goberts block on Green that was called a foul, thought Gobert was going to get dunked on), some crazy shots from GS players that they dont normally make, Curry being Curry, Thompson stepping up after a little slump and very little help from out PGs.
It was nice to see Favors being clutch and showing some emotion. Loved hearing coach Snyder yell at the ref that Favors deserved respect. Glad Hayward is stringing together good games and looking like an all-star. Nice to see Burk get off to a rough start 0-5 and then really step up. Its nice to have Booker playing emotional again and making some big plays, he looks like he did last season, I think the start really helped him find his groove. I loved seeing Hood trying to step up and having the confidence to try and win the game. I would have rather seen other shots or Hayward or Burk with the ball but at least he is confident and hit a big shot earlier to get them within 1. Great to see Gobert trying to take the game over defensively and on the boards. We just needed one more player to step up and we would have won this game.
Jazz are .500 despite being a very young team and having a rough schedule to start. This team if they stay relatively healthy is going to be over .500 and make the playoffs without Exum who was/is their second best defender and is going to be a solid starter. If this team gels a little more and really starts playing as well as they did in this game we might even be a 4-5 seed.
