Week Three and (Part of) Four

11/7 at Philadelphia

The Utah Jazz were unquestionably dominant in their 109-84 win over the Sixers as the weak opponent helped the Jazz produce a number of highlight worthy plays including this sweet Hayward dunk.

11/9 at Charlotte

In Utah’s sole loss of the five-game road trip, they found themselves outmatched in the fourth quarter by Kemba Walker and the Charlotte Hornets as they fell 104-98. However, that didn’t stop Joe Ingles and Gordon Hayward from connecting on this sweet high-flying alley-oop in the first quarter.

11/11 at Orlando

The Jazz’s performance in the fourth quarter of this game was likely their most remarkable defensive period of the year as they held Orlando to just ten points to stroll to a 87-74 win. Rudy Gobert played some defense himself then honed his inner point guard by taking this baby coast to coast.

11/12 at Miami

Utah finished out their recent road trip with a solid 102-91 win over Miami. Utah was clicking on all cylinders throughout the contest and Rodney Hood had one of the most impressive makes of the game with this deep three from another area code.

11/14 vs. Memphis

The Jazz’s 102-96 loss to the Grizzlies was a bit of a letdown after such a solid road trip, but the squad fought hard on tired legs and narrowly missed coming away with the victory. Dante Exum’s cut to the hoop and throwdown was definitely my favorite moment of the night.

Hopefully as Exum gets more and more confident, we’ll see a lot more of these kind of aggressive attacks at the basket.

So there you have it, just 12 games in and the Jazz have already treated us to these and so many more memorable moments. With the season just getting started, you can practically guarantee that the Utah Jazz highlight reel is just barely heating up.

Stay tuned, Jazz fans, because I’m sure there’s still much more to come.
