Game Thread - Jazz @ Kings - 8:00 PM MST

Also that loose ball foul after Mitchell's go ahead layup was big (and a peculiar call) - otherwise Jazz had a foul to give. Could have forced Sac to re-set.

Sacramento was out of timeouts. Its a big task for a young team to get the ball out of the net, and get it down against the clock. But never fear the NBA producers know how to rally the hometeam. So the foul call stopped the clock and allowed Sacramento a few moments to set.

Nevertheless shame on Bogey.
 
I'm not sure people should blame Bogdanovic for Barnes' final lay-up. When the ball was passed to Bjelica, Bogdanovic didn't want to commit to rebounding, since that would mean leaving Barnes completely open. Thus, he hesitated for a blink of an eye, while Bjelica was shooting. At that point, he was not close enough to Barnes in order to simply put his body on him, though. Then, Bogdanovic, like everyone else, looked at the basket waiting for the result of Bjelica's shot. Barnes, though, antecipated that it could be a miss and run hard towards the basket. When Bogdanovic reacted to the missed shot, it was too late. At first sight, the play looks bad for Bogdanovic, but I think it would have been ill-advised to try to crash the board while leaving Barnes wide-open on the top of the key. Kudos for Barnes for making a great read and great play, though.
This. It wasn't just Bogey watching rebounds and playing like they didn't want to be there. Blame goes to the entire team. Personally I wish Quin would do what Malone just did to Denver and call them out for being all talk. Give credit to Sac. for hustling but we beat ourselves.

I smell a conspiracy theory.
