A few notes about the game. In our last match-up, Utah won thanks to Hill's alley-oops airball to Gobert. Hill shot a poor 4-14 on the game but dished 8 assists. All things considered, he wasn't so much there the last time we played the Kings, so maybe it won't matter much tonight? He didn't play when we crushed them in December or when we lost to them by one at home later that month. However, the terrible Cousins was playing those nights.
Hood led the Jazz in our last meeting with 28, going 10-17, 4-8 3pt.
Hayward had a rough day, shooting 7-21. Johnson sat with a groin strain, which is what will keep Hill and Neto out tonight.
Jazz outrebounded the Kings by ten and took 7 more field goal attempts. Bad news is that Burks was a team low -9 +/- and he'll likely get big minutes tonight. I didn't realize he was expecting a baby, so maybe that has been on his mind a bit lately and affecting his play. Maybe tonight he'll excel for the little one.
Praise be to the churro.
