Week One

10/25 Utah at Portland

Despite the fact that this game ended in an unfortunate 113-104 loss, Jazz fans got a good look at what Joe Johnson can bring to this Jazz team as he led all scorers with 29 points.

But perhaps more importantly and certainly more memorably, Jazz fans got an even better look at just what Rodney Hood can do to the rim. This incredible dunk was the highlight of the night and definitely one of the best of the early season.

10/28 vs. Los Angeles Lakers

The Jazz came away with a 96-89 win in their home opener thanks largely to a big game from George Hill. He had highlight after highlight all night long, but the one I particularly enjoyed came on the defensive end where he blocked Lou Williams then threw the ball off his leg out of bounds to give the Jazz the possession.

The videos don’t quite do it justice, but for those that watched the game and just judging by the crowd’s reaction, you know that this was a big play.

10/30 at Los Angeles Clippers

This was without a doubt one of, if not THE, most disappointing Jazz performance of the year as they fell 88-75 to the Los Angeles Clippers, but at least it gave us this beauty from Rudy Gobert that will make you wonder what that poor rim ever did to him.
