Week Two

11/1 at San Antonio

Honestly, this entire game could have been one amazing highlight all in itself as the Jazz rolled into San Antonio and put up an impressive 106-91 win. But if I had to choose just one play, I’d go with this awesome quick-step, and-one layup by Dante Exum.

11/2 vs. Dallas

There was a lot to love about this game as the Jazz cruised to a 97-81 win over the Mavs, but my personal favorite had to be George Hill’s deep three buzzer beater to end the first half. Right on the money!

11/4 vs. San Antonio

San Antonio took easy revenge over the Jazz in the two teams’ next match-up as the Spurs notched a runaway 100-86 victory. There wasn’t a whole lot of good things happening on the court for the Jazz on this one, but they did force Popovich to take an early timeout with this nice ball movement that led to an easy Favors jam.

11/6 at New York

In the game which saw Gordon Hayward make his 2016-17 NBA debut and the Jazz beat the Knicks 114-109, there were a slew of good highlights to choose from. Gordon passed Bryon Russell to move into second place for three-pointers made in team history, Rudy had some sweet dunks, and George Hill was his usual crafty self.

However, my favorite play was this one where Joe Johnson’s “shooter’s touch” created an incredibly lucky made three.
