On Ingles for locking him down.

Toronto at the end of a long road trip i believe. They're still the Phoenix Suns. And Philly without Embiid playing should have been much easier.
Any team is capable of beating any other team on any given night. This happens but Jazz once again showed that they know how to close out a game.

You've got to be kidding me. Letting bad teams hang around and giving them a chance to steal a game they have no business being in in the first place?
If that's a statement, it's that Utah is still very undisciplined as a team. Getting HC advantage in the playoffs could be a very big deal for this team, and you can't be jackpotting around with bad teams if you're serious about going deep in the playoffs.

Sure, there are times when bad teams are shooting lights out and are competitive, regardless of how good a team is playing.
That's not at all what I've seen the last two games. The Jazz have looked very
lackadaisical for 3 quarters, as if they expect to turn the switch down the stretch. Well, they've been able to do that so far, but at some point that will bite them in the ***. I want to see this team on a mission to secure HC in the first round, and I don't think it's out of the question they could get HC through the 2nd round, if everything fell into place.

Of course but it's hardly something to be confident about that we close out two of the suckiest teams in the league after letting them hang around through 3 quarters. Certainly not a "statement" like OL proclaimed
Statement game squeezing out a home win against one of the worst team in the NBA! One Love gonna One Love.

IDK, maybe I'm not giving Philly and Phoenix enough credit, and maybe I'm being a little too hard on Utah, although I'm just not seeing that fire that I hope for when Utah is battling for position. Kind of like the loss to Miami and the Griz beating GS on the same night. Just when Utah has a chance to move up in the standings, everything goes against them, so perhaps I'm just paranoid, but I'd like to see this team grab the bull by the horns in terms of controlling their own destiny.

It did bite them in the ***, as Sacramento and Toronto erased deficits. Tonight Utah lost Hill. Favs still not playing a lot of mins (25). Hood was gassed in the 4th. A win is a win. I'm not complaining that the margin of victory is too low.

This game nearly gave me a heart attack. If we would have lost Hill, the game, to the suns....would have destroyed me.
Where was Hayward late when we needed him? Mack was a nightmare for most of the game with his turnovers, and spazzing. Thankfully he made
some huge plays at the end of the game to help us get the win. Favors and Hood gave us some plays, just wanted a little more out of those two.
I guess I'll take Favors getting better slowly game by game. At least hes out there.
I knew someone was going to get injured during this game. When Hill got hit my first thought was broken jaw. ****. that would have been a lot worse.
lets hope the consussion is mild, and he can get through it quickly.

We're on our way to be that team. Almost there.

Dude Hayward had huge plays in the last 6 minutes of the game, what game where you watching?
This was a game that looked like the refs did all they could to keep it close and pull for a Suns win. The Jazz were just too good.

I think Hayward missed a shot, though.
Seriously, although Hayward didn't score a lot, he had a good game. And during the last 5+ mins, didn't he have a couple of buckets, a beautiful assist to Rudy out of a double team, a chase down foul to prevent a layup and one or two rebounds? I've noted when Hayward has underperformed in the 4th. This game was the reverse. Hayward and Gobert led the team to victory down the stretch, with honorable mention to Ingles and Mack, IMO.
