Utah Jazz vs. Minnesota Timberwolves: Keeping the dream alive
Key No. 1: Take care of the ball
I wish we weren’t still talking about this 60-plus games into the season. I (along with many others, I assume) wrongly thought that this was a “start of the season” thing where our team was still adjusting and getting acquainted.
We were wrong. In a game where the Houston Rockets were short-handed and the Jazz took a first-half lead of 15 points, turnovers became their undoing. The Jazz ended up with 22 turnovers, a figure that will not win many games, particularly not against the BEST OFFENSE IN NBA HISTORY and the eighth best defense this season.
Luckily, the Jazz have had a long breather before this next game and plenty of time to practice. Quin Snyder has already mentioned the turnover problem since that game and we hope the team comes to play with a little more focus.
