The Jazz lost by one point to the Pacers — how big was one free throw decision? Plus, thoughts on Keyonte George's long passes, and reactions from the Jazz on the Luka Doncic deal.
Three thoughts on the Utah Jazz ’s 112-111 loss to the Indiana Pacers from Salt Lake Tribune Jazz beat writer Andy Larsen.The Jazz held a 12-point lead with six minutes left in this one, but lost it through some pretty garden variety turnovers, iffy defense, and some made shots from the Pacers.
• If the Jazz had been successful in getting the rebound, then kicked it out for three and made that, it would have meant a 61% chance of the Jazz winning. In the two-point case, the Jazz need a 33% chance of getting the rebound and making the putback in order to succeed. Doing both is difficult — generally,of getting an offensive rebound off free throws. But if Markkanen misses it well, and the Jazz have a height advantage... maybe there’s a case.
And then there are times where it gets ugly. He had six turnovers tonight — a couple of miscommunications, and a couple of puzzling passes, including this one.
