Boston Celtics vs Utah Jazz Full Highlights 1st QTR | Mar 12 | 2024 NBA Regular Season
Position defensive team that’s not that good so we have to be very active in our transition game but they’re really good on offensive glass so one goes with the other make sure we keep them off the offensive glass so we can get to transition officials tonight Scott Foster JB D roza Matt
Koo Fifth and final game of a road trip here and it starts with a Luke cornette bunny holiday set him up how about the spacing there and that’s similar to the the play when Al Horford hit the three and a quarter this time cornett’s crashing but it was the same similar play
Cornette making his third start of the season one of them was against Toronto December 29th here’s Keon George they love this rookie and he can really stroke it Georgia first- round pick out of Baylor 20 years old averaging 21 points and six assists over his last seven full
Games you saw it there the Jazz’s main issue this year defense third from the bottom in defensive rating under 10 to Shoot white from the mid-range Hower got a piece cornette tangled up with John Collins Collins one of their better rebounders comes away with it here’s Collins ston averaging over 18 points per game in just 25 minutes trying to set up Collins cornette call think about him is usually
Hard to come in especially off of back to back Denver is another place to come in off the back to back and it’s tough to get a w what makes it tough to play here I it’s hard to explain I would tell you what make it tough right now for me
Would would be how they got in at 3:00 in the morning last night and you’re going to have to try to find energy you know the quick turnaround you lose the hour going against a young team who’s going to have a lot of energy all these kid all these guys out here have
Something to prove they’re all trying to make their bones in league so they’re going to be trying to go out to Celtics as much as they can Hower teas up another sticks this one and just doesn’t touch nothing I’m talking about except the net and the net bar barely barely
Touches that Sam Hower coming off his best game of the season six of 10 from downtown at Portland yesterday what a start for Keon George he’s got seven of Utah’s nine and coming right back at you it’s D white and I don’t know if they would consider that transition but that was a
Quick pass one pass one shot they don’t guard the three well they’re not great at transition defense either yeah Celtics playing super fast the last two nights against the bottom two teams in the league and preventing fast break points Portland 29 Utah 30 there’s Luca shamanic out to calling ston for the
Corner three good contest by holiday ston saves it right to Hower no numbers for Tatum doesn’t matter throws it down on his head that was grown man didn’t he just turn 26 that that’s usually when you you get your grown man strength right there
His own is here oh and a swad of section but it hit the glass first that’s a goal T so Jason tat him he’s off his parents health insurance and he’s officially a grown man 26 and that was a grown man Move Celtics have been super aggressive attacking the paint especially since the All-Star break and there it is again Jason Tatum we talked about it all offseason right Eddie hit the weight room at it 12 PBS we’ve seen it throughout the course of this season and
And I don’t know when teams are going to learn you can’t put a smaller guy on him cuz he will go to the block now previous years like probably wants to know what that ring feels like on your think shinich with a Nifty move they keep handling business he’ll
Know I’m with you SE the fourth year man out of Croatia gives his team the lead 1312 approaching 4 minutes in there’s white for [Applause] three when the Celtics are have the spacing the proper spacing and they’re doing everything hard they’re really really really hard to beat and Colin seon just leaning in
Elbowing and Derek white all through the face that’s how you get your tooth knocked out it’s a dangerous play by section T him a couple buckets at The Rim takes the three and he’s fou the details of small things that that come in at the
Wrong time that that bite them um but I think they could get better at that those are all controllables I I don’t look at anything that they can’t get better at that they can’t control now we’re looking like man we’re missing this piece or we’re missing that but I’m
Going tell you what Utah Jazz is missing is an opportunity to challenge again and that goes on keontay George because he was over there pleading with Will Hardy that he didn’t foul sometimes you just can’t believe your players there’s the eclipse by Luke cornette also known as the cornette contest but John Collins
Unbothered he’s got five it’s always interesting to see which players the coaches trust sometimes it’s only the veterans or the starters there’s Tatum from the short Corner that should be to see that replay and should say no no no don’t challenge it or challenge it but sometimes you
Want to trust your players and that one backfired not everybody’s got the green lann Matt Reynolds here’s shamanic Collins on the follow that was above the cylinder no basket bask and that’s what they do well though so Celtics be aware that they’re crashing the glass they’re one of the
Best offensive rebounding teams in the league so have to be aware have to find a body have to make sure you put a body on whoever’s trying to get to the rim it’s a good call Eddie Hower hits another three that’s two for Sam Hower who was cooking yesterday in Portland
Picking up right where he lefts off that thing is Beautiful by the way that is they crash the offensive glass hard but they also allow the most transition points in the NBA that’s usually how it goes if you don’t get that offensive rebound you got three guys crashing Four
Guys crashing only one back for the most part you’re going to have you’re going to be imbalanced on the defensive on the defensive side in transition right in your eyle and that’s another thing they don’t do well is guard to three and we have been taking advantage of it so far this
Game Jazz opponent three-pointers made for game 14.5 most in the league cornette with a challenge on the ston layup Payton Pritchard running the floor he got swatted by Keon George a good recovery from the rookie you know things happen George read that like a book yeah he did looked
Like a young Derek white out there Tatum defending Collins Xavier Tillman’s in the game Dre holiday checked back in as well brasset Pritchard and Tatum the other three JT’s got 10 already Jaylen Brown typically the straw that stir the drink in the first quarter he’s out tonight Tatum filling his
Shoes quick hands from Collins Richard matched up with George five on the timer Pritchard on the step back yes sir for three and I watched him pregame knocking down shots like that was going in and I seen him make the adjustment he took a few short a few of
His shots were short and I seen the adjustment that he makes Shooters snapped the wrist extra hard when you’re short and he did a fantastic job with that making that adjustment Deon George can fill it up 11 points for the rookie out of Baylor even the Jazz in this game they
Not getting many stops Celtic shooting 64% from the floor Pritchard a clean look brasset the offensive rebound [Applause] Tatum steps to the side and dun comes away with it George oh man that was a bit of a
