The Jazz tried their best against the Timberwolves on Thursday, but it wasn't competitive. Joe Ingles, Rudy Gobert, and Mike Conley returned to Utah, and on the John Collins trade idea.
Three thoughts on the Jazz’s 138-113 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves from Salt Lake Tribune Jazz beat writer Andy Larsen.For the first time in a long time, the Jazz organization was trying to win a game.
But the bench was abysmal; Clarkson especially really struggled with a -31. The Jazz gave up a whopping 195 defensive rating when Drew Eubanks was on the court tonight — frankly, empty gyms have better defensive ratings than that. The next 3:51 were a whirlwind. Whenever Ingles touched the ball, Jazz fans would cheer, but they wanted more — a shot would be good, points would be ideal. But the Jazz were playing blitz pick and roll defense, and Ingles isn’t going to shoot over the blitz. Frankly, even peak Ingles isn’t getting that shot off with his lack of athleticism. In addition, the Wolves' young players who Ingles was sharing the floor with wanted to make the most of their very limited playing time.
I don’t expect him to be in the NBA much longer... he really can’t play anymore. It was cool for the fans to get this final chance to show what he meant to them.
