The Jazz outscored the T-Wolves 12-6 in O.T. last night to hold off the pesky T-Wolves.  Gordon Hayward (26 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal) and Devin Harris (18 points, 1 rebound and 4 assists) led the way for the Jazz in this game.  Paul Millsap (16 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists, 8 steals and 2 blocked shots) and Alec Burks (15 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal in 31 minutes on the floor) also had solid games last night for the Jazz.  Al Jefferson (12 points, 13 rebounds and 2 steals), Josh Howard (10 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists) and Derrick Favors (4 points, 16 rebounds, 1 assist and 4 blocked shots in 23 minutes on the floor) also had solid games.  The Jazz are now 21-22 on the year.

The Jazz shot 52.2% from the floor and they outrebounded the Jazz 42-34 last night, but it wasn’t good enough to win.  That is because the Jazz forgot how to play D as the Suns shot 56.4% last night.  Paul Millsap (18 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals) and Al Jefferson (18 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 blocked shot) led the way for the Jazz last night.  Derrick Favors also had a decent game with 14 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 blocked shot in 21 minutes off the bench.  Gordon Hayward (13 points) and Jamaal Tinsley (11 points) also pitched in for the Jazz last night.  The Jazz are now 20-22 on the year.

The Jazz outscored the Pistons 30-13 in the 4th quarter which helped them surge to a nice home win.  Al Jefferson led the way for the Jazz in this game with 33 points, 12 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocked shots.  Devin Harris also had a rock solid game with 19 points, 3 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 steals.  C.J. Miles (15 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists) and Paul Millsap (12 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 steals) also pitched in for the Jazz last night.  The Jazz are now 20-21 on the year.

The Jazz are likely going to try to deal Devin Harris this week.  He has played in 38 games (all starts) for the Jazz so far this year and he is averaging 25.5 minutes, 9.6 points, 1.4 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.0 steal per game.  The Jazz thought that Harris would be a decent replacement for Deron Williams, but he has been sub par.  I just don’t see Harris on the Jazz past this week as he has been a huge disappointment for them so far this year.

The Jazz didn’t play much D last night as the Bulls shot 55.8% from the floor and they were also outrebounded 42-31 and it did them in.  Paul Millsap led the way for the Jazz last night with 26 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist and 4 steals.  Al Jefferson had another solid game with 16 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 blocked shot.  Josh Howard (15 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists), Alec Burks (11 points) and Gordon Hayward (10 points) also pitched in for the Jazz in this game.  The Jazz are now 19-21 on the year.

The Jazz didn’t play any D last night as the Sixers shot 52.6% from the floor and it did them in. Paul Millsap (15 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals and 1 blocked shot) and Al Jefferson (14 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist and 3 blocked shots) led the way for the Jazz in this game. Derrick Favors also had a solid game with 14 points and 5 rebounds in 19 minutes off the bench. Gordon Hayward (13 points) and Devin Harris (10 points) also pitched in for the Jazz in this game. The Jazz are now 19-20 on the year.

The Jazz outrebounded the Bobcats 43-34 last night and it was a big reason for the nice road win. Al Jefferson led the way for the Jazz last night with 31 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal. Paul Millsap (16 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 1 blocked shot) and Derrick Favors (14 points, 7 rebounds, 1 steal and 2 blocked shots in 18 minutes on the floor) also had solid games last night. Josh Howard pitched in with 12 points, 5 rebounds and 3 steals last night. The Jazz are now 19-19 on the year.

The Jazz shot 50% from the floor and they outrebounded the Cavs 46-30 last night on their way to a nice road win. Al Jefferson led the way for the Jazz with 25 points, 13 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal and 3 blocked shots. Gordon Hayward was unstoppable as he finished up with 23 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal in 28 minutes on the floor. Josh Howard (14 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 steals) and Paul Millsap (13 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocked shots) also pitched in with decent games. The Jazz are now 18-19 on the year.

24-year old forward Jeremy Evans might have won the NBA’s Dunk Contest at the All-Star Game, but he’s buried on the Jazz’ bench. Evans has played in 17 games (0 starts) for the Jazz so far this year and he is averaging 6.6 minutes, 1.8 points, 1.2 rebounds and 0.5 assists per game. He has now played in 66 games (3 starts) in his first two years with the Jazz and he is averaging 8.7 minutes, 3.2 points, 1.8 rebounds and 0.5 assists per game. Evans is shooting an amazing 67.2% from the floor in his first two years with the Jazz, but that’s obviously not good enough to get him on the court.

20-year old shooting guard Alec Burks and 19-year old Enes Kanter have made the most of their P.T. so far this year. Burks has played in 31 games (0 starts) for the Jazz so far this year and he is averaging 12.8 minutes, 6.1 points, 1.8 rebounds and 0.7 assists per game. Burks comes off the bench shooting the rock and he has a huge upside. Enes Kanter has played in 36 games (0 starts) for the Jazz so far this year and he is averaging 14.5 minutes, 5.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 0.1 assists per game. Kanter and Burks are going to be starters down the road for the Jazz and they both have huge upsides!
