Ty Lue says only thing he wants to see, RE: Norm, is how rotations look with Luke Kennard back.
Lue expects Kennard back Saturday. So for you fantasy fiends, fire up the full roster for Saturday vs Kings and hit up @AndrewKSchlecht for the annual weird finale vs Thunder Sunday. – 1:09 AM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
The Triple Team! 3 thoughts on
1. The Jazz rested people. The Thunder sat folks to tank. Should the NBA do anything to prevent that in general?
2. JC and Butler both with 10 assists.
3. Jazz are likely to be the 5th seed, again. Who are they gonna play?

Utah won easily at home vs OKC tonight. So, Dallas stays one win or Utah loss away from clinching at least 4th. After 3 off days the Warriors play Thurs, Sat, & Sun and a GS loss opens the door to move up to 3rd. Also, Utah is one win or Nuggets loss from clinching at least 5th. – 12:46 AM Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Xavier Moon splits FTs, which is good enough for a three-possession lead of 111-104.
Suns use last timeout with 20.5 seconds left.
Thoroughly unserious finish to this game. Almost the bizarro world version of PG’s comeback vs Jazz last week. – 12:42 AM David Locke @DLocke09

As for Paul, Ayton and Crowder, Williams said it looked like Ayton did same thing he did in Detroit, but not that serious.
Ayton missed 7 games with right that ankle sprain.
Crowder sat OKC game with ankle soreness. As for Paul, Williams said #Suns wanted to give thumb a rest. – 11:53 PM Utah Jazz @utahjazz

Mark Daigneault on Jeremiah Robinson-Earl: “We’re pretty confident he’s going to make a big jump.”
JRE had a career high 18 points tonight in only 16 minutes. – 11:41 PM David Hardisty @clutchfans
Lottery Race Update: After watching a teammate be released for his production, OKC got back to an unprofessional approach as, top to bottom, nobody contributed in the 101-137 loss, keeping them in 4th. Standings:
1. HOU 20-60
2. ORL 21-59
3. DET 23-57
4. OKC 24-56
5. IND 25-55 – 11:38 PM Utah Jazz @utahjazz

Technically the Jazz can still get to the fourth seed but Dallas also has Portland on its schedule and the blazers are handing out wins like I hand out assists at lifetime fitness – 11:19 PM Oklahoma City Thunder @okcthunder
Final from Utah. pic.twitter.com/UrdgUgymkA – 11:19 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Jazz beat Thunder 137-101.
Jared Butler (career-high) and Jordan Clarkson (team-high) both had 10 assists — it’s the first time since 2019 and second time in the Quin Snyder era the Jazz have had two players with 10 assists in the same game.
Last RS home game vs. Suns Friday. – 11:18 PM Eric Walden @tribjazz
FINAL: Jazz 137, Thunder 101. Bogey 27/5r. Gobert 20/10. JC 18/10a. Hassan 15/11. Rudy Gay 12/8r. Butler 7p/10a/6r. NAW 9p. House 14p, 4-7 from 3. Utah is now 48-32. Home finale Friday vs. Phoenix. – 11:18 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
The Utah Jazz defeat the Oklahoma City Thunder 137-101. Utah moves to 48-32 on the season. This all but locks up the five seed for Utah. Their magic number for that is one, and they have Portland remaining on the schedule no matter what happens with phoenix on Friday Night – 11:18 PM Utah Jazz @utahjazz

We’ll see who plays in the Suns game. – 11:06 PM Eric Walden @tribjazz
Jordan Clarkson had an 18/10 double-double tonight on 7-11/4-6 shooting. Another highly efficient game. The assist total ties the second-highest of his career. – 11:02 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen

Utah’s winning tonight against OKC’s G-League team, which all but locks them up for the 5 seed.
5. UTA – 48-32
6. DEN – 47-33
Utah’s magic number to be the 5th seed is 1. Another Utah win or Denver loss after tonight will guarantee it. Utah plays a resting PHX, then POR. – 10:59 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Jazz on a 24-5 run, they’re up 116-87, and, yes, this one is over with 9:08 left. Greg Monroe/Eric Paschall/Xavier Sneed time coming up? – 10:56 PM Eric Walden @tribjazz

HALFTIME: Jazz 71, Thunder 58. Any time you can draw up a play for Melvin Frazier Jr. to try and take Rudy Gobert 1-on-1, you have to do it. Bogey 16/5r, Gobert 14/7r, JC 12/5a. Roby/Hoard/Robinson-Earl all have 13p for OKC. Simpson 9a. Utah only 11 3PA in the 1H. – 10:08 PM Utah Jazz @utahjazz

OKC winning his game would be hilarious, would tie Indy for 5th worst record and thus lose ping-pong balls. Mark Daigneault may have to check himself in during 3rd quarter. – 9:58 PM Eric Walden @tribjazz

Jazz up 41-31 after 1Q. Bojan Bogdanovic (12 points) outdueling Jeremiah Robinson-Earl (11 points). OKC PG Zavier Simpson doing a nice job so far with 5 assists, leading the Thunder to a 130 ORtg, but Jazz simply outscoring them so far. – 9:41 PM Utah Jazz @utahjazz
100% of Rudys in the NBA were involved in this one
#TakeNote pic.twitter.com/yASEVRwGT0 – 9:40 PM Eric Walden @tribjazz
End 1Q: Jazz 41, Thunder 31. After some early struggles, Utah surged ahead with an 18-2 run. They were helped by getting 14 FTAs. Bogey has 12p. Defense has been suspect, though — 50% FGs, 5-9 on 3s for OKC. Jerome Robinson-Earl has 11p. – 9:39 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
41 is a season high in first quarter points for Utah – 9:39 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba

Bojan Bogdanovic just made his first basket of the game. He has 9 points. He’ll be going to the line for an and-1 — his 9th FTA of the game — after the timeout. 15-12 Jazz for now, 6:48 left 1Q. – 9:22 PM Oklahoma City Thunder @okcthunder
