Andy Larsen 1. Alec Burks can score and amaze. Alec Burks was Utah’s best player tonight, scoring a career high 34 points in the 5th start of his career. First of all, he got the shots around the basket that he likes: 13 of his 19...

Andy Larsen 1. Jazz without Hayward… are they tanking? The Jazz played without Gordon Hayward tonight, Hayward’s first DNP of the season. Hayward was ruled out due to a muscle strain in his left hip flexor. When I asked Ty...

Andy Larsen 1. Indiana’s defense, designed to force mid-range shots, did so by minimizing scrambling rotations. Perhaps the main ingredient to Indiana’s defensive success is how they discourage teams from taking high-efficiency...

Andy Larsen 1. Trey Burke’s ability to get an advantage on a defense portends good things for his NBA future. This game continued Trey Burke’s coming-out party, scoring 21 points and accumulating 6 assists in tonight’s...

Andy Larsen 1. Jazz allowed Suns to get what they wanted offensively. The Jazz are again not getting it done defensively, a major disappointment for a team that wanted its calling card to be paint protection. I asked Corbin what went wrong...
