Spurs defensive approach was completely different yesterday. They continued to apply a lot of pressure on handoffs, which was still disrupting the Jazz offense a lot, but the main difference was that they stopped helping as aggressively on the bigs, instead switched a lot and forced the Jazz into winning missmatches. Other than Johnson and Hill in stretches this didn't work at all, thus the stagnant offense. Hood's isos only worked when he freed up space on the perimeter for clean looks. His drives didn't work at all. He seems to have tiny hands looking at this tragic dunk attempts. Or just switched chalk for lube for extra grip.
Once Hayward returns the spacing should get cleaner. When Favors isn't hitting open midrange Js over close outs or isn't in a shape to attack those, then the spacing with him and Rudy at the same time is really weird.
