POSTCAST – Utah Jazz stun the Milwaukee Bucks with unreal shooting and energy

The Utah Jazz just went to Milwaukee shot down the box with a brilliant first quarter an overall fabulous performance in fourth quarter gumpa we’re talking about it next on postcast you are locked on Jazz your daily podcast on the Utah Jazz part of the locked on podcast Network your team every

Day Utah Jazz headed East and won two of three surprisingly David lock along with Ron Boon this is postcast as the Utah Jazz beat the Milwaukee Bucks 132 to 116 if you missed the ball game the jazz came out in the first quarter they hit 11 threes to open

The night in the first quarter they LED 4123 then they led 7746 the half they led by 31 for a while it felt like they might be just the third team in the history of the NBA in 318 times that a team led by thir the

Half they were going to drop it they were down to 10 in the fourth quarter it got to single digits and then the Jazz clutched up late with a bunch of big plays and they won it by the final score of 132 116 going away Ron Boon at

Halftime I asked Lamar sker what impressed him the most so I will ask you the same question what has what impressed you the most well it kind of reminded me and I tell you what it impressed me the most but it kind of reminded me of the Boston Celtics what

They did to the Jazz in their first half in Boston where uh executing very well and they were making shots and every shot was going in everyone was chipping in the morale of the team just picked up and everyone was excited until you know obviously you think a great team like

Like the Milwaukee Bucks g to come back uh and and they did just that but what was more impressive I think was watching the game plan this morning and then watching it it work in that first half let’s dig into that what did Scott Morrison Jazz assistant coach was in

Charge of the game plan today what did they do so well executing the game plan first of all they want to take the ball out of giannis’s hands make him see as many body bodies as possible so what they were doing was they would would make jannis see what I call a little

Fence three guys and Giannis uh and they would take the ball out of his hands jannis would give give it up they would rotate out of it if they gave it back to jannis and they will bring another guy from the weak side you know to uh to

Keep Yannis from getting to the basket very few B points at the at the basket but jannis in that first half because of that Giannis turned into a passer they were missing shots and the Jazz were making theirs and so game plan uh obviously whenever any team plays the

Boss uh play the Milwaukee Bucks is to take the ball out of giannis’s hands and try to make someone else beat them the energy and Juice the Jazz started the night with were really really awesome yeah once things start to fall into place you start making shots and the

Defense is working everyone seems to get excited Colin seon all of a sudden he’s felt like uh he could not miss and well for the most part he couldn’t he ended up in that first half what with 13 points but he had three three-point shots in that first quarter Colin hit

Three in a row then Keon hit three in a row the Jazz hit 11 of 17 from three in the first quarter they hit 16 of 30 in the first half the jazz came in the game last in the NBA and above the break three-point shooting and they were 13 of

23 in the first half so this was an out of Norm shooting Night by the Utah Jazz there’s no question they happened you can go on both sides of them we got against one against Cleveland where they went the other way so you you take that

But then the game gets down to single single digits and Bobby poris has got the crowd rocket and the Bucks out score the Jazz 4423 in the third quarter so a 31-point leads down to 10 as we open the fourth they get it down to single digits

How did the Jazz stem off that tide well once a team makes a run and they get within 10 eight six or whatever and you stay Poise um J start to execute and I thought lri was the big factor especially in that fourth quarter uh he

Ended up with with 21 points uh he only had 11 coming into the fourth quarter but he got to the free throw line uh and then Jordan Clarkson seemed to catch fire there as well but uh again I mean the game plan worked and as you mentioned so many times about the

Comments that will made about uh not going rogue uh you mentioned in the third quarter you thought the Jazz did go a little rogue when things start to um go Haywire there’s a really interesting two-part substitution by uh will hardy night it’s 11199 he takes Keon out of the game he

Brings Colin sexon in so he’s got Jordan Clarkson Colin seon uh in the game as the back court at that point Jordan Clarkson turns it over on the next two possessions they call a timeout it’s now 11 103 and Chris Dunn comes in for Jordan Clarkson with 652 left and the Jazz

Promptly kind of stretched the game out they score on two straight possessions Dunn assists one of them seon assist the other then Chris Dunn had a really nasty move inside if onu hit the big three on a Colin ston assist actually uh late but

It was they went to Chris you know I got asked before the game like why is Chris by the Milwaukee play by what is Chris dun bring what’s he doing and I said he just calms us he just he just calms us and gets it in order he did that he also

Did a really fabulous job in executing the game plan and bothering Yannis as the help Defender coming off his man yeah you’re looking at a guy that’s he’s only 6’4 but he has pretty long arms and and I think he plays a lot bigger you know than than 64 you notice that when

His shots when he gets into the paint doesn’t matter L there he can get that little push little hook shot or whatever he likes to shoot there in the paint but uh he questioned this morning at at shoar around uh and was directing this morning at shootaround at what Chris Mor

Scott Morris was was trying to uh relate to the players so he understood exactly what what what Scott Morris wanted and that probably helped him a lot here tonight the Jazz pull this one off late Lowry made the big plays Lowry finishes with 21 points and 14 Chris dun had 13

Assists in just 24 minutes but let’s go back to Scott Morrison in the comment that he made about we wanted Lowry to or yanonis to feel like had two or three guys guarding him at all times this is why Damen Lillard’s so valuable to them and they didn’t have Lillard because you

Probably can’t do the same thing you can’t leave Malik Beasley can’t leave Damen Lillard well now all of a sudden who are you leaving if Lillard’s healthy so it certainly changes the game that Dame played didn’t play tonight that certainly is a large part of it now give

The Jazz credit they still executed exactly what they did you know what what they had to do but actually exists your little fence doesn’t exist if people can just you know clip their way through it and let me add to that there as well think about

Just the the ball game how many times watching the Milwaukee Bucks during the course of the Year you and I watching games on the plane do you see Giannis get an offensive rebound or a defensive rebound or even after a ma shot just go coast to coast and then just go by guys

We did not see that tonight why because they were getting back and they were setting up to the point where Giannis couldn’t get through three guys you know and he had to give the basketball up so that was a big difference uh defensively and keeping him from getting to the rim

133 times at The Rim he’s been averaging 10 makes we didn’t see that tonight final number I was going to look that up before we started the show final number for Giannis today at The Rim see if we can quickly get that to you um there are

Mechanis we have these things they give us all these incredible access to things so we can find this for you Giannis tonight ended up oh they don’t get the exact number but he goes this is where Giannis is fly he’s 0 for two from three he’s 04

Six two four six seven anywhere other than the rim so he’s over seven anywhere other than the rim he missed only 10 shots so he must have been 10 of 13 at The Rim exactly what oh actually he was 0 of nine Ron oh of n o of nine oh of n

He was actually 10 of 11 at The Rim but he was 0 of nine on anything else I mean that is the one area where Giannis who is truly great like if he could figure that out I think would be you know maybe the greatest player um that’s ever ever

Played in this game well that’s the reason he shoots 61% for the year all right well just an allar around great effort 11 turnovers was all Milwaukee only force does not force turnovers so the jazs were able to take advantage of that tonight they come

Back from this road trip two to one two games uh two and one so Ron I po locked on Jazz today I asked like are the Jazz in a playoff run like are we in a playoff race here we like the Jazz are borderline I mean the the jazzer have a decent

Chance of being a game probably a game under 500 by the time we hit the 4 one Mark game Mark of the Season well we’re at 500 now no we’re at 18 and 20 no we’re 19 and 19 I don’t think so I think we’re 18 and 20 yeah oh that was

Last year at this time yeah we’re 18 and 20 so um that move that’s close to the Lakers right tied with the Golden State Warriors ahead of the Golden State Warriors half a game behind the Lakers game behind the Lakers so could very well be I mean suddenly behind the

Warriors by the way is only for 11 not for 10th yeah um but it is interesting that we move ahead of the Warriors and move into this johnar out for the season with the Memphis Grizzlies so probably can take them out of the list so there

Are 12 teams competing for 10 spots is the way it kind of feels like right now if the Jazz are actually in that um mix of all it really an impressive performance all the way around the 11 threes in the first quarter the Highlight the closing it out in the

Fourth quarter all around energy effort Kelly alen Bobby Porters had a little fun to it that was just a wild fun night across the board uh all right Ron star me up I’m you normally you know this is kind of difficult tonight I think because of

The the way the game was played in that first half every all the contribution we had from so many different people but I’m going to go um fourth quarter tonight I’m g go to lri who was able to help hold off the the Bucks and I’m GNA

Go with Chris Dunn I thought Chris Dunn’s stability uh his his leadership out there on the floor uh 133 assists I just think as far as holding off the the Bucks and winning the basketball game those were the key I agree with you and the only

Thing I would add on to it is I thought um I agree with you I’m 100% in the only thing I would say is I thought Colin seon’s opening stanza was really really important and that’s what I meant that’s what I said you know but it’s awfully

Hard all right that is locked on Jazz today I’ll try to get the audio version up there’s a chance this is gonna be the only version because our bus leaves in 14 minutes see you guys now I send you over to the first ever 247 National Sports feed on YouTube
