12/5-12/8

12/5 Utah at Los Angeles

Gordon Hayward was the standout star in Utah’s win over the Lakers earlier this week. One of the most notable aspects of his performance was how well he moved without the ball as he made several cuts to the basket that led to easy hoops. We’ve seen Gordon Hayward involved in a lot of alley-oops this season and this one certainly did not disappoint.

12/6 Utah vs. Phoenix

The Utah Jazz were dominant in the third quarter of this game, but the Suns fought back to make it close with a huge run. However, Utah effectively shut the door on this awesome reverse alley-oop by Rudy Gobert that effectively iced the win. What a play!

12/8 Utah vs. Golden State

While this game certainly didn’t go as Jazz fans hoped, it was great to see the guys put up such a fight. Joe Ingles had a career night and was Utah’s most impressive producer. This steal and fast break right here perfectly exemplify the grit that the Jazz played with in this game that helped them compete with the top team in the league despite being down four starters.
