35.2%: The Jazz had a fairly good shooting night, but went a little cold in the fourth quarter shooting just 35.2% in the final period and getting outscored 41-31.
3-13: The Jazz are now 3-13 in their last 16 games and have just 14 games left in the 2023-24 season.
Best of the best: Edwards had one of the most insane dunks I’ve ever seen. He posterized John Collins so hard that both players were injured. Edwards played the rest of the game with two fingers taped together and after getting hit in the face with both Edwards’ hand and knee.
Worst of the worst: Lauri Markkanen and Keyonte George both finished with six turnovers a piece. With Collin Sexton’s four turnovers the three players accounted for nearly every turnover the team committed.
