Just play Kessler 5 more minutes, we probably win.

Sexton should have shot the floater there

Start of 4th lineups killed our momentum and let them off the hook

Impressed the Jazz played it this close.

Difference was OKC was able to string together massive runs that gave them a huge cushion to play off of. Utah got punched first and never fully recovered.

We came out flat, and that's all she wrote. And the great Kessler mistake.

It's off Williams imo

Jazz didn't start playing real defense towards the end of the 2nd quarter. That's why it's been uphill all night.

 

[fishonjazz]

I bet they jump it

Have to go for a three there. If you drive it’s to kick for a three… oh well. OKC shot it well and I feel like they beat us. We didn’t beat ourselves too bad.

Hopefully we can find a way to get this into overtime so Hardy can pull Kessler one more time. . .

Nice a fun close game halted to a stop by a needlessly long replay

Agreed
What really should have happened is sexton come down and shoot the three. He had the easy floater though

Lol how is that “successful” you were super wrong.

 

[JazzMan4Life]

We fought hard, story of the night is why the hell wasn't Kessler put in sooner. If you've got to lose a game that's a fun way to do it though.

Hopefully this is the start of a long rivalry.

 

[JazzGal]

Interesting call on the challenge. Guess it makes sense.

 

[SteakNEggs]

Hard fought game just some questionable decisions from top to bottom.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Couldn’t even get chicken… this some ********.

 

[JazzGal]

So close! I'm encouraged by how hard they fought after that terrible start.

 

[MT Steve]

Just super disappointed that Hardy didn't give Kessler more playing time against a matchup that desperately called for it.

Equally disappointed that he resurrected the Collins/Olynyk 2-man lineup which I thought he figured out was unplayable defensively.

Ugh.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Good loss. That'll get us refocused. Now go beat Houston.
