Has anyone made a “Stop the count” joke about the Jazz being the last undefeated team in the NBA? That could be a good one if no one has – 1:28 AM

Lot of defense for me tonight on clips I’m pulling. Thought this was a really fun defensive night! CHI-NYK was a slugfest. DAL-SAS was fun. Utah just smothering HOU. Then that MEM-GSW game was super intense. Didn’t expect tonight to be this enjoyable, NBA! – 12:49 AM

Top Rookie on Thursday
Alperen Sengun, 14 pts, 5 reb, 3 stl
Another rocky shooting night for Jalen Green: 3-16 from field, 0-8 from three.
The good news? He took 9 free throws (he had zero in his first 4 games), scored 13 pts, dished out 3 ast + 1 stl + 1 blk – 11:24 PM

Even beyond his one point, this has been by far Jared Butler’s best stretch in a Jazz uniform.
Made the right pass to the corner a few times, played under control, fought over screens well.
Got a blocked shot and his hustle led to a Clarkson dunk. That’s how he can help. – 10:08 PM

1. Eric Paschall leaping over everyone to snag boards (3 now).
2. Joe Ingles having himself a night. They were yelling at him to shoot that one several seconds before he did. He’s up to 11p. – 8:50 PM

Jalen Green has been good to start this game, but the Rockets offense gets bogged down because they can’t get Gobert out of the paint. Subbing Gordon for Tate should help that a little – 8:21 PM

The 10-6 score doesn’t really reflect the degree to which the Jazz are pretty much doing what they want. Couple of unforced turnovers, couple of missed open looks. 6:58 left 1Q. Ingles and Whiteside set to check in. – 8:20 PM
