Utah Jazz 88, Golden State Warriors 87

Wow, what a game. Jazz were up by 12 early, The "Dubs" came back and lead for a lot of the second half. And then, well, our glass eating, paint pounding paid off. And we won. By one. Because of Gordon Hayward (The Precious, G-Time, OG-Time, Zerg Rush . . . ). I'm going to leave this very short and just say: Raja Bell. Thank you. Thank you very much for having a very solid game. Hope he gets more cheers in the next home game, and not so many boos.

Wait here for greater, more in depth game coverage and recaps. Just not from me. I live in the Eastern Standard Time zone. I'm going to bed. I have to be up early tomorrow.

Woo!

Go Jazz go!

I think it's worth mentioning:

As of this second, the Jazz have the longest win streak (4 games) in the NBA!

For a team that is most certainly rebuilding, playing <21 year olds big minutes every game, that is just unbelievable.

We’re lucky to be fans of a team that somehow manages to always put a competitive team on the floor. I’m excited to see how the rest of the season develops.

Jazz are, without question, one of the best managed teams in the league

I don’t love every KOC move, but for the most part he has been very good for the team

Fun Game

I loved seeing all the ball movement. Glad Raja had a good game, and good to see G Time finally have a sick overall game. Harris with 8 assists was a pleasant surprise. Good overall intensity, and it seems like our defense is really starting to click and the team is building chemistry.
