Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen tries to dribble past Oklahoma City Thunder guard Luguentz Dort during the first half of an NBA basketball game Friday, March, 3, 2023, in Oklahoma City. Three thoughts on the Utah Jazz’s 130-103 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder from Salt Lake Tribune beat writer Andy Larsen.The Jazz’s 26 turnovers tonight as a team were their most since 2015, when they lost 97-82 to the Houston Rockets.
Mix Elijah Millsap and Elliot Williams and you have Kris Dunn. I compared Simone Fontecchio to Steve Novak in literally the last Triple Team, he was on that squad. Like Udoka Azubuike, Jeremy Evans was a young player who was one of the best dunkers in the NBA without being able to do much else. Fontecchio’s just kind of cutting to the middle, then pausing in the worst possible place. It makes it extremely easy for Isaiah Joe to just leave Fontecchio and step in and take a charge.
That he finished 3-11 from the field is of no real consequence to me: that’s just because he shot 2-9 from the 3-point line, and he’s a good enough shooter that you know 2-9 is an unusually bad game for him. But that he was that willing to shoot the deep ball matters too. I’d probably prefer the pass be a little bit earlier and to Kris Dunn in the corner here rather than relying on Jones’ man to leave him, but hey, it worked out. The aggression led to points early in the shot clock, essentially created by Agbaji’s willingness to turn defenders on the move into uncomfortable team defenses. That’s a big skill, and it’s nice to see him do that in addition to the 3-point shot.
