HIT REFRESH TO HAVE THE LATEST STORY GO TO THE TOP
FINAL SCORE -- Wolves 111 Jazz 100
Jon said it best in the comment zone "Jazz are really going to spoil their good season if they keep playing like this on the road. Just lousy games over and over."
This was terrible.
Lots of Jazz players were awful but I have to give Memo the credit for the worst night of the year and complete and utter lack of effort on the boards.
The Jazz played LA Clips, Atlanta and Minnesota and are 1-2. That is not acceptable when the playoffs are on the line.
Jazz committed a season high turnovers in this game.
Minnesota is awful but they are an NBA team so they can make a play or two if you give them a chance and that is what happened tonight.
Tyrone Corbin was on Locked on Sports and talked about how hopefully one day one of the guys will come forward as a leader. It is clear this team is lacking the leadership it needs on the road and overall.
The Jazz hit one field goal in the first 7:30 minutes of the 4th quarter. They never ran their sets.
This was a disaster.
5:58 left in the 4th Quarter -- Wolves 88 Jazz 80
This is dreadful
The bench gave the Jazz nothing and the Wolves went on a 10-0 run
Memo has been irrelevant on the boards.
Jazz have 9 second chance points to the Wolves 20
Jazz have committed 22 turnovers to the Wolves 9
A complete lack of focus
The Jazz defended on one possession at the 7:05 mark. It was noticeably different
End of 3rd Quarter -- Jazz 72 Wolves 72
The good news is the Jazz have started to run their offense and when they do they score almost everytime. Turnovers are still an issue
The bad news is the Jazz are not imposing their will on this game. The Wolves are getting a ton of offensive rebounds. The Wolves are pushing the Jazz around.
The Jazz are fortunate that the Wolves are a terrible offensive team. They are getting open look after open look but none of their players are good enough to knock them down.
Hafltime -- Wolves 52 Jazz 47
This is really poor. The Jazz are playing at half speed. The cuts are slow, the passes are lazy and fast breaks are at half speed.
The Jazz have 14 turnovers and they are shockingly bad.
The Jazz body langugue is really poor, the hands are down, the feet are on the floor.
Boozer is scoring but the defense is non-existent.
More importantly the Jazz aren't dictating the tempo of this game at all.
Can't imagine what Sloan said at halftime
End of 1st Quarter -- Jazz 27 Wolves 25
Jazz shot 69% but they are trying to outscore the Wolves
The Jazz are letting a terrible offensive team go where they want to
the post defense has been laughable it has been so bad
Boozer has 15 points.
The Jazz will score all night but they will need to play a few moments of defense
Jazz are sloppy -- 9 turnovers -- lazy lazy passes
Key Numbers for the Jazz v. Wolves
Jazz have the 3rd ranked offense against the Wolves 27th ranked defense.
The Wolves have the 29th ranked offensively and the Jazz are the 12th best defense.

Re: Live Blog -- Jazz v. Wolves
I think I would rather just have whoever brings the ball up just shoot it. Even if we only shot 40% we wouldn't have any turnovers that lead to fast breaks. It seems like when the Jazz either scored or turned the ball over for the first three quarters and then just couldn't score in the fourth. They couldn't stop anybody in forth either.
