The Triple Team! 3 thoughts on

1. Jeff Green was the Subway Sub of the Game with 5 points and a -18. That's a problem.
2. Warriors kept trapping Donovan, and kept paying for it in Bogey 3s.
3. Royce O'Neale's screen navigation is really good.

"We could have packed it in and we didn't."
Yes, the Jazz struggled to beat the Warriors. But here's why the Jazz see Friday night as progress, even if that progress is a mere inch. The story, is here - theathletic.com/1459770/2019/1…

Rudy Gobert, on the rebounding: “When teams are going big on us, we all know we have to do a little more. ... We have to be more physical. ... Sometimes we do it when we need to, and then kind of relax and get comfortable. ... It’s almost like a wake-up call.” pic.twitter.com/DQYhbh3lWp

Joe Ingles, on what turned the game around: “We got some rebounds — that helped. ... Second half, especially in the third quarter, we were able to get those rebounds and get out and run. That got us going a little bit.” pic.twitter.com/jJQjG7cRRn

Joe Ingles, on if he consciously has come out more aggressive of late: “I’m a scorer, baby — that’s what I do!” pic.twitter.com/Do5GSwlq2q

Bojan Bogdanovic: “Our energy was completely different in the third quarter. A lot of times this season, we’ve kind of waited to get punched in the mouth, and then we act.”
And on why he kept getting open looks: “They we’re more scared of Donovan than my 3s.” pic.twitter.com/U8NeUDxGan

Donovan Mitchell, on what changed from 1H to 2nd: “We knew exactly what to do. We were giving up rebounds, just staring, watching.”
And on Bojan’s big night: “I told him, ‘You can go 1 for 20-something, no one cares. Just shoot. Shoot, shoot, shoot.’” pic.twitter.com/0vMTJvCveN

Jazz lineups vs. Warriors:

Starting lineup: 21 minutes, +25
All other lineups: 27 minutes, -17

POSTCAST – Locke and Boone look at the good and bad of Jazz win over Golden State - lockedonjazz.net/jazz/postcast-…

The jazz pull away late and secure a 114-106 win over the Golden State Warriors. Bogdanovic drops 32 to lead everyone. Mitchell has 28 and a big shot late. The jazz move to 15-11 on the season. It wasn’t easy. They trailed by as many as 13 in the first half

The jazz are 15-11 and have won three of their last four games

Mitchell gets fouled by Burks, who is somehow their best choice to guard DM down the stretch. Mitchell hits both FTs, Jazz up 111-106 left with 35 seconds left. It appears the Jazz will survive the Warriors without Steph and Klay and Dray and Eric Paschall

The jazz lead 111-106 with 35 seconds remaining

Emmanuel Mudiay is celebrating wildly on the bench, and yeah, the Jazz are probably gonna win at this point, but it was kinda yikes

BEDLAM AT VIVINT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bogdanovic hits a three under duress and the jazz lead 106-104...

Bogdanovic hits a huge stepback three on yet another dead possession. Jazz up 106-104, 1:49 left, GSW ball.

SUBWAY SUB OF THE GAME: Jeff Green.

5 points (1-8 FG), 1 rebounds, 0 assist, 1 turnover, 2 fouls, -18.

I love when players flop and then grab the wrong extremity or spot on their body. You gotta know what was hit if you’re gonna sell me. C’mon.

Alec Burks with a classic bad idea midrange floatery crap BUT somehow gets his own rebound, taps it towards the basket, and it goes in. In #TheReturnOfAB, he has 22 points.

Jazz down 100-98 with 4:05 remaining

Jazz down three. 4:33 remaining

Jazz starting lineup comes back in 4:37 left 4Q, down 98-95 to GSW.

This is some really bad basketball. Golden State's players aren't very good, so that explains their end of it.

7:40 remaining: the Jazz lead the warriors 92-91...bogey just hit a three and got fouled

Chicken giveaway leads to crowd energy, then crowd gets even crazier when Bogey hits a banked-in and-one three that gives D-Lo his fifth foul. Jazz up 92-91, 7:40 left.

Making a note to look at Jazz turnovers to find out what percentage of Utah turnover are from offensive fouls

GSW's Marquese Chriss has a left knee contusion, but is available to return.

The jazz lead the warriors 86-84 at the end of three. So on @ESPN700 this afternoon when I was talking to @Spencer Checketts I said Utah’s challenge tonight was to win the game in three quarters. I’m adjusting that challenge to simply winning the game

End 3Q: Jazz 86, Warriors 84. After an energetic start to the period, the Jazz slowed late, allowing GSW to get back into it. Still, Utah did drop 37p in the period. Bogey has 22p, Donovan has 19.

Jazz up 86-84 after 3Q. 37 points in the quarter for the Jazz, who were able to find Bogdanovic more often. Then, the bench allowed a 14-6 Warrior run, because bench.

Let’s see how the jazz close these next 49 seconds

Ingles was pretty darned dominant off the dribble in the third quarter

Ball is moving much better in the third quarter

If you keep leaving Bogdanovic wide open in the corner, it’s a good way to get him out of his slump

Ron Boone @1041straight has been talking about the enormous growth of Mudiay on our broadcasts. The last pass to Bojan in the corner might be the best play he has made all year

Somehow, the Warriors have managed to not figure out for like 5 straight possessions that Bojan is going to spot up in that right corner. After another 3 from the Bogeyman, Jazz now have a 74-68 lead with 4:33 left 3Q.

Emmanuel Mudiay! Didn't force the layup in traffic, instead kicks it to Bogdanovic! Jazz have a 6-point lead.

Holy crap, Mudiay with some terrific reads off the bounce!!!!

WCS now up to 5 fouls with 6:02 left in 3Q.

Jazz down 64-63 with 7:09 remaining in the third quarter

After another Bogey 3, Jazz have opened 3Q on an 11-6 run to get within 62-60, and Steve Kerr calls timeout. Bogey is up to 15p, and now has as many 3s as he does turnovers (4, ftr).

The jazz shot 43 percent from the field. The hustle stats are lacking. One block, three steals. Just 16 rebounds, while the warriors have 10 offensive rebounds alone

The warriors shot 50 percent from the field in the first half. They made 5 threes, they are winning the rebounding battle. They are playing well. The jazz aren’t
