Watching the game I couldn't get rid of thought that there should be a reason for this "lack of energy and toughness". Periodically we have been seeing such things past season as well. I reckon it has something to do with physical training they go through. Maybe it's too harsh or unbalanced and guys simply unable to recover. Got to a gym to work out legs hard and then try to be active and hoppy next day or even day after. Won't happen. Each and every Denver player was not even half but whole step quicker than most of the Jazz players.
I am pretty much sure if guys wouldn't struggle on defensive end we would be rolling our offence smoothly by 3rd quarter.
