Utah Jazz @ Sacramento Kings - Nov 24 - 8:00 PM MST - Root Sports/NBA TV

[JimLes]

As we saw tonight, we can't depend on others to pick up Jefferson's scoring. Jefferson didn't lose this game tonight; Millsap, Hayward, and Favors did, with help from Williams and Carrol.

None of this would've mattered had the Jazz been able to defend. The Kings scored 93 points a game against all the other teams this year. They put up 105 a game in two games against the Jazz. That is a lot. That's a 12 point differential. The Kings aren't Showtime Lakers or something. They're quite easy to stop defensively. The only other teams to give up a 100 to them this year are the Lakers and the Pistons. One of those teams is just plain garbage, and the other one just got a coach who believes defense to be a dirty word.

It doesn't take a genius to stop DMC, but apparently, it doesn't take Corbin or Jefferson, either.
