POSTCAST – Utah Jazz offense sets record in blow out of the Charlotte Hornets

An offensive explosion of historical proportions for the Utah Jazz carry them to a dominating and easy don’t worry about the end win over the Charlotte Hornets Jaz have won two in a row as they set records for first quarter points and halftime points tonight in a win over Charlotte we’re talking about

It coming up 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 J play a perfect first quarter of basketball tonight scoring 47 points in the first quarter they score 82 in the first half have the largest lead ever in franchise history at the half of a road game 8247 no team in the history

Of the NBA has ever lost a lead of that proportion the Jazz continued to play not particularly well for the final 12 24 minutes and I’m going to count the second half as in the irrelevant department will hardy will not think so in his coach’s interviews

Today and other people will make a deal of it because coaches like to coach but this one was this one was one in the first half the Jazz win maybe in the first quarter Jazz win probability was at 99% with 21 seconds left in the first quarter they and I I’m super impressed

Ron this was about as mundane a game as you can have all season long on the road in Charlotte team not playing well without Lamela ball without courton Hayward like there’s there’s nothing about this game as a player is going to fire you up and I thought the jazz came

Out with great focus and great intensity on a night in the midst of a long road trip where you you could have slipped and got yourself in a tussle they did the opposite yeah you talked about that before the ball game and and about will the Jazz be focused knowing that some

Key players are out there for the uh for the Hornets and they’re probably in the middle of the road as far as uh being a very good team anyway um but the JZ got the job done early in the ball game as you just mentioned they

Started to lose things in the in in that second half but you got to give Scher some horn some credit there as well because they started to to run Washington gets hot you know and and and all of a sudden you know you put a little scare into the into the outcome

Tiny just old scar all I’m really I’m looking at the chat room I gota be honest with you if you’re like complaining about the final 24 minutes you’re just a pessimist like literally literally you can literally find out what your personality is today on this one like if you want to

Complain about the final 24 minutes and act like it’s all like one of the quotes and our thing is it’s only a win on paper like okay well let’s talk about the 82 points in the first half like you just don’t do that like that’s that was Brilliance coaches know the teams are

Going to make a run yep uh and and you know world can get upset you know all he wants uh and he should especially when mistakes are made out there to give teams opportunities to score uh offense a lot of time is geared to get guys shots certain spots on the

Floor lobs to the rim you know that that type of thing and when mistakes are made and they end up and and and things are not getting done that’s when coaches get upset now they didn’t expect for the Hornet not to make a run and and not to

Catch fire but you just you know you just don’t want get close I’m being told is terrible I’ll see what I can do to try to fix it but I was a little worried about when we started but if it uh any comments in the chat room that are

Helpful it does seem to be vastly over modulated and coming in as there we go maybe that’s brought it down a little bit see if that helps a little bit sorry about that for the first 341 of the show hopefully that is better um feel free to

Tell us in the chat room if it’s better thank you to to let us know that um thank you Lacy you guys please tell us there’s really no way for us to know so that’s really helpful in the chat room when you let us know those things um so

D thank you yes if there defense is struggling and the Jazz Catch Fire and and they’re just everything they threw up was going in and and was they wasn’t bad shots or they were forcing shots they were getting everything they needed to to to get out there on the floor

Whereas the Hornets in that first quarter they only scored 24 points and and they did make um uh four for nine from the three-point line 10 for 27 which is not bad numbers in that quarter but it was just the fact that the Jazz was so hot and the Hornet def F

Didn’t have an answer for you know for the Jazz uh putting up 47 points yeah let’s go to the first quarter Scott Morrison halftime said whatever has possessed Colin seon he was absolutely brilliant in the first quarter and it was not just his scoring he was driving

Brilliantly but he had a career high 13 assists tonight and really was about I mean that’s the best controlling of a game passing I’ve ever seen the growth is the growth is truly remarkable that he’s made so far I like the fact that that’s what he’s focusing in on I mean

You listen to this interview there is that this is something that I focusing in on this is something that I want to be better at I I want to be known to other things other than just scoring the basketball I’m GNA take a moment I don’t

Know the story here at all but I’ve never seen a head coach come out and meet in the midst of the family with the crowd afterwards game and Will’s doing it right now and with somebody who’s in the handicap section so I don’t know the story tells you a lot about will about

How just kind of common he is around everyone that he literally just left his press conference and came out here to to meet with some people out here I’m not sure I’ve seen a lot of head coaches come out after a game um in the midst of

Um everyone so just kind of cool um Lowry and Colin were the two best players on the floors they should have been uh Lowry had his career high in the first half of a ball game um really was just aggressive and took advantage of of

Every open he had it the the other one on this run that I was impressed by with the Jazz is that sometimes when a defense is as putrid as what the Hornets thre out there there’s a tendency to just take the first opportunity every time instead I thought the Jazz stayed

Inside their core and they just kept spinning it and moving it and moving it the whole time they had 27 assists in the first half I think they if I remember correctly I’ll have to check that they finished with 38 but I mean they they made the extra pass time and

Time and time again when there was just a not a lot of resistance so that the first pass was available a multitude of times the best thing in an offense is when you get the defense scrambling you get the defense scrambling you make two three at the most uh sometimes maybe

Four passes and and you get a wide open shot even if that shot doesn’t go in you feel good about what just happened because we did move the basketball we got the defense scrambling and we got uncontested shots uncontested shot out of that so that’s that’s a reward uh you

Like for the shot to go in obviously but the reward is is being able to move the basketball 13 assists for Colin six assists for Chris Dunn eight assists for Kelly alen three more for Lowry we talked to Will Hardy about that and open the game on that three more for Simone

This team is playing I Horn’s terrible don’t miss understand but these team is playing Collective basketball and moving the ball in a in a really exciting and fun way well the creativity uh and again breaking the defense down we saw what they were working on this morning more a

Draw and kick you know penetrating uh and kicking I mean they they Scout teams they watch film and they know okay we can probably drive and find Open men here or Open men there so they put that in practice this morning and and they end up getting some great shots and then

You have the individual play there by Mark lri and and and Colin seon that really you know put the Jazz over the top there in their first quarter uh Jazz end up with 82 points points in the first half on 32 of 49 13 of 23 from the

Field um they also only turned it over five times you know you play you played two really really bad teams in back-to-back games you did exactly what you were supposed to do in both those games and you hear so many people say this and and this is why I have to

Correct them you know um the jazz beat the the Hornets the Jazz uh beat the Washington Wizards but they didn’t beat anybody you know that that type of thing and I have to correct if the JZ didn’t beat those people then what would you be saying

About what you know what kind of team the jzz is you know so and league rules didn’t allow you to beat anybody else on that night exactly right the only person you could beat tonight was the Hornets right and frankly you know on a six game

Road Trip you just got to make sure that you don’t you don’t like let go of the Rope so far that you you I mean the thing of like if you again I’ll say this about the second half like if it had been a 12-point game at Halftime the

Second half wouldn’t have had happened yeah but it wasn’t a 12-point game at Halftime it was a 35-point game at Halftime and when it’s a 35-point game at Halftime you let go it’s just how it works and by the way they won by 12 it was never close there was never a moment

Sure it wasn’t pretty but you weren’t winning by 70 no impossible right if you winning by 70 more right I mean it happened to us where we lost by 50 but like you know I mean the Jazz let go the Rope they like they they lost their focus they got

Frine right because you know why they were up 35 of the half because they played perfect offensive basketball against a team that allow like you couldn’t do that against Houston you couldn’t do that against Orlando like this is the other thing I would say I think’s really interesting Oklahoma

City’s really really good defensively I think they’re top five Houston’s top nine defensively New Orleans is top 10 defensively the Jazz had a run there where they played three top 10 defenses they actually are still ranked the top number two offense in the NBA through those 10 games with three of

Those games being its top 10 teams and then they came and played two terrible defensive teams and blasted him blew him off the floor just blew him off the floor so like that’s pretty great they learned I think from playing those games against really good defensive teams and

Then when they got two free rides they killed them gota love it it’s great uh somebody said that once before he was really good uh Jazz Brooklyn and New York we’re going to New York happy anniversary to my wife tomorrow Happy Anniversary kimy who will

Come be in New York when I get there so that makes itun awesome awesome have a great one everyone Jazz and the Brooklyn Nets are next the final score tonight 134 122 oh yeah Stars Lowry and Colin absolutely no question that was actually done like Way Long the first we could
