00:00All right. I'll be talking. I got you.
00:01Nah, you got it. You want me to get it?
00:05How am I? Yeah, you a captain, bro.
00:07Woo!
00:10Looks like I can shoot like you, bro.
00:15Mic'd up all night.
00:16Bez M. Bain just signed his second 10-day contract,
00:19and he's made an impact in his short stay with the Utah Jazz.
00:23Let's look at tonight's starting lineups.
00:25The visiting Washington Wizards will go with Will Riley
00:28and Bub Carrington, Koulibale with Leaky Black and Juju Reese.
00:33The Jazz, it's M. Bain and Conchart.
00:36Came off a 19-point game against Toronto, tying his career high.
00:40Harkless, Ace Bailey, who's been on a heater,
00:43and Cody Williams will be at the center spot tonight against Washington.
00:47Let's go courtside. Check in, LG.
00:50Well, Bowler, you mentioned Ace Bailey has been on a heater,
00:53but he's not only growing up from all the numbers he's putting up on both ends of the court,
00:56but also just emotionally when he steps onto the court as well.
01:00We've seen a lot of steps towards that.
01:03Coach Hardy said that his emotions that we started to see are healthy and real.
01:06He wants him to work quickly through all those emotions.
01:09That comes with dealing with officials and other natural in-game situations,
01:13but his comfort level keeps growing up.
01:15Also, learning how to interact with the game.
01:16Coach Hardy says that's so important as a rookie.
01:19Also, when it comes with learning how to talk to your teammates, coaches, opponents, officials,
01:23he said he's earning credibility with all of those people.
01:26So with 10 games left, Ace is growing up in every way.
01:30Now, LG, all of the above, right?
01:32And Big T, you had a sit down with Ace yesterday,
01:35and we'll see that later over the weekend, a two-part series.
01:39Bailey to Bailey.
01:40You found out some real fun stuff about this young guy.
01:43I did, and because we've done two earlier,
01:46it was great now to get it towards the end of his rookie season
01:50to see how different he was and he felt
01:53and even more of an extrovert than he was when he got here.
01:59But Bowler, on the all-NBA name list, Leaky Black.
02:04Leaky Black.
02:05I found out how or why he is named Leaky Black.
02:08His middle name is Malik.
02:09Grandma said, hey, instead of Malik, I'm going to call you Leak.
02:12Then it became Leaky.
02:13So Leaky Black.
02:14I like it.
02:14Thanks, Grandma.
02:15Grandma.
02:18All right, the Jazz finishing up a four-game homestand.
02:22We'll jump on a flight and head to Denver, then Phoenix, back home.
02:26Including tonight.
02:27T, 10 games to play.
02:29Unbelievable.
02:32Yes, it has come fast, and a lot of opportunity has been given
02:37to a lot of these players.
02:38And tonight, really, without Kyle Filipowski,
02:42I mean, literally a small ball for the Jazz.
02:44So everything that they do has to be a collective effort.
02:48I mean, communication, especially defensively, hands in passing lanes,
02:52helping out on isolations.
02:54Sean Wright put the ball up in the air.
02:57And here's Elijah Harkless, who's taken advantage through all of those minutes you just spoke of.
03:05He had a couple of steals, four assists, nine points, and a loss to Toronto on Monday night.
03:11Here's a skip pass out to Conchard.
03:13Fires up a three on his first shot and rebound to Washington.
03:16They have struggled.
03:18They've lost 16 in a row.
03:19And their last win, February 20th, against the Indiana Pacers.
03:27A little step-through bucket nicely done.
03:30Wiz on the board first with a bucket from Will Riley, making his 13th start.
03:39Here's Conchard.
03:41Over the top pass.
03:42Harkless rotates out front.
03:43Ace on a dribble drive.
03:45He'll stop on a free-throw line.
03:46Extended tee.
03:47Great look.
03:48Rattles out.
03:48It's a great first look for him.
03:50And I love the way the ball is moving.
03:52It's going to have to move tonight, especially with this group.
03:56Goulibaly gives it up.
03:57Nice steal for a moment.
03:59Harkless-o jumps and falls out of bounds.
04:01Good hustle.
04:0212 on the shot.
04:03That's what he does.
04:05That's Harkless's game.
04:06But he has shown that he can score points when needed.
04:10Brian Keefe, the head coach of Washington, in his third season.
04:17Like the Jazz on a rebuild, restructuring, retooling, however you want to put it.
04:23So, obviously, in a fight for a top-three pick.
04:26Ball's loose out of the hands of Cody.
04:28Back inside.
04:29Bucket.
04:30Scored.
04:31It was really good until that.
04:33That happened.
04:34Jazz with a nice defensive play, but end up losing it right at the end there.
04:38Juju Reese, the bucket.
04:40The Jazz get three back.
04:42Guess who?
04:43I mean, on a heater.
04:45You know, you can overuse that.
04:46But, I mean, truly, he's now 36%.
04:49His last three games, 52% from three.
04:53And Reese comes back to score again.
04:57Jazz are really going to have to bog that middle up as a team.
05:03Rebounding could be an issue for the Jazz.
05:06Ball stripped out of the hands.
05:09Leaky Black picked it up at the drop inside.
05:12And a foul on Ace Bailey.
05:14That will put Juju Reese, who is in a couple of quick buckets here at the line.
05:18So, early on, you see what the Wizards are doing.
05:22They're taking advantage of in the paint.
05:24On the fast break, in the half court, they will lean on their size on drive and dump downs, if
05:31necessary.
05:36Imagine the NBA all in one place.
05:38Made easy, Xfinity.
05:40Imagine that.
05:41And, T, to your point, size has not been really available for the Jazz.
05:46Most of the bigs have been sitting since All-Star break with multiple injuries, illness.
05:52And, really, it's been small-balled Utah Jazz.
05:55It has, but, you know, small-ball lineups are lineups that you're going to be using regardless of who's playing
06:00and based on who you're playing.
06:02So, you've got to figure out how to collectively work as the Jazz come up defensively with the ball.
06:08Bang, steal.
06:11Hands it off to Cody.
06:12He was a question mark before tonight's game with a right shoulder issue, but got cleared to play.
06:18Straightaway three, short.
06:19And the ball jumps out to Conchart.
06:24Williams.
06:25Takes a wing three.
06:26It's up and out.
06:27And the rebound to Black.
06:30Some of the things the Jazz are going to have to continue doing.
06:3250-50 balls, offensive rebounds, just extending the possession.
06:43They're going to call a foul on Elijah Harkless.
06:47It was kind of weird because it looked like Elijah was displaced from his defensive position.
06:54They're going to give it to him for the hole.
07:00Of course, in the small-ball lineup, you're really going to switch everything.
07:06Crossover.
07:06Nicely done.
07:07Will Riley.
07:08A shot jumps out.
07:10Conchart.
07:11The rebound.
07:12Will Hardy talked about all the little things he can do just like that tee.
07:16He put it back in a thread-the-needle assist to Cody.
07:25They're going to get Elijah Harkless on this one.
07:27He was not outside the restricted area, but Jazz doing a great job on the offensive end.
07:34John Conchart with a beautiful pocket pass to Cody Williams.
07:40Yeah, and that's what small-ball lineups do, Bowler.
07:43Not going to be a lot of isos, so some backdoor cuts, some energy in the ball just to find
07:48open looks.
07:50Last time we saw the Wizards earlier this month did not score.
07:54But, again, those are the numbers Will Hardy spoke of.
07:57Five steals, five rebounds, four assists.
08:00He did finally find his three-point shot against Toronto.
08:03Yes.
08:05Yes, he did.
08:06Nice rebound right there.
08:08Already four rebounds in three minutes for Conchart.
08:11Here comes Harkless.
08:12Blocked from behind.
08:13Picked up by Riley.
08:15Wizards running.
08:18Trying to put down the hammer.
08:19That ball pops like a cork in the rebound to Ace Bailey, and he has pushed and fouled.
08:24By Bubb Carrington, his first.
08:26I love that.
08:28Defensive series right there by the Jazz.
08:30Scrambling, getting back in defensive transition so that they don't make it easy for the Wizards.
08:38And then contesting that potential dunk.
08:44Ball pressure on Harkless.
08:47Here's Cody Williams.
08:49Comes up short.
08:55Nearly four minutes in, first quarter.
08:57Little stop and go.
08:59Now they kick it to the corner.
09:03Riley.
09:04Splashes a three.
09:06Not a bad scramble by the Jazz.
09:08Bez and Bang needed to leak out to that right corner just a little bit earlier,
09:12trying to anticipate that that pass is going there.
09:15Riley, a rookie, played at Illinois.
09:17He was the number 21 pick last summer from Canada.
09:22He got a push and a shove.
09:27A big.
09:28Bez might have tweaked an ankle a bit, but it did look like it turned a bit, did it?
09:35Koulibaly with the foul.
09:39Picks up his first.
09:42Ace, pocket pass, Conchars.
09:45He's tripped up on the drive in the paint.
09:48I love the accuracy of the cuts and the timing.
09:53They're going to send Ace off these screens a lot.
09:57And he is becoming a really good playmaker.
10:01He is the primary scorer out there right now, but all eyes are on him.
10:06And they took his eyes off him that time.
10:09He blinked.
10:10He's gone.
10:11He's averaging 13 and a half points a game this season,
10:14but he's just been on a tear of late.
10:16Five quick wins here in the first quarter.
10:18We mentioned his last three.
10:20He's averaged 32 points, and his three-point shot is in that outrageous category of 52%.
10:26You touch it, it's gone.
10:28Yeah, his confidence is sky high right now, and I love it because he understands
10:33that he still has a lot of work to do.
10:37But with every game, he just gains that confidence as Will calls a timeout here.
10:48We'll step aside.
10:50Wizards on the road up 11-7.
10:54Camps are here for boys and girls age 7 to 17.
10:57Jazz Youth Development Camps build skills, confidence, and young players.
11:02Visit jazzyouth.com and register for a camp near you.
11:07Now, during that timeout, of course, Will Hardy, the green light went up,
11:10and they challenged the fact a foul on Conchar actually made contact,
11:15dislodged the ball, and Utah wins the challenge and possession.
11:18And that's what John Conchar does.
11:20He makes those kind of plays, even on a guy who has the height advantage over him,
11:27as Bez and Bang steals it back.
11:30Beautiful pass and Conchar lays it up and in.
11:33But, hey, Bez and Bang, little quarterback in that arm.
11:36He put a right on the hands.
11:40I mean, these guys just make defense fun to watch.
11:48Reilly feeds it inside the bucket by Reese.
11:51Oh, he just gave EJ a too small sign.
11:56Just getting started here.
11:59Seven-point first quarter for Juju Reese.
12:02He's 6'9", 2'30".
12:04Rookie undrafted out of Maryland.
12:07Ace to Cody.
12:08Space drives it.
12:09Glassman put it down for two.
12:13Cody Williams might give him a too small sign.
12:17Great angle on the drive.
12:19Jazz are moving the ball.
12:20The defense looks good.
12:21Like this group out here, Bowler.
12:23Watch this defense to offense.
12:26Nice kick ahead to John Conchar with the left off the glass.
12:31And then Cody Williams with a pass from Ace Bailey for the two.
12:37This group's working, Bowler.
12:38Jazz down two here with 6'30 left.
12:42Go.
12:44Go.
12:45Get it.
12:48Have a good one, man.
12:54Good day, John.
12:58All night long, Bez and Bang, mic'd up.
13:02Good little feel for what's going down on the floor.
13:0613-11 early, Washington.
13:13Oscar Sheeble in the game now.
13:15That'll help in that paint protection and rebounding.
13:21He's got a really good relationship with the basketball bowler.
13:24Yes, he does.
13:26The ball automatically finds the hands of Oscar as Carrington knocks down two.
13:32Here's Cody.
13:34To Oscar.
13:35Had a nice offensive game against Toronto.
13:37Find Ace Bailey.
13:38Let's it fly.
13:39And there you go.
13:39There's that offensive rebound.
13:41They put two on his back.
13:43No foul.
13:45In fact, the ball dislodged and picked up.
13:47Watkins has it.
13:49Conchar went for the steal.
13:50Now they go corner and a three ball on the way.
13:54Well, jumps out.
13:56Sheeble, right place, right play.
13:58Oh, what a wicked move.
13:59What a bucket.
14:00Conchar behind the back of a magician and scores at the rim.
14:04I'm so glad he is really getting to show what we always knew he could do.
14:10We know he's a great defender.
14:12But, man, he's got some offensive skills as well.
14:15Tied his career high against Toronto on Monday night with 19 points.
14:19He hit three triples.
14:21Did not miss a free throw in eight attempts.
14:24He's going to get this foul here.
14:25But what a nice move behind the back.
14:27Just instinctive stuff.
14:29Using the lefty to finish.
14:33Jazz with some, just some great opportunities on the break.
14:38And they are taking advantage.
14:42Conchar picks up foul number two.
14:44Check in with Lauren Green.
14:45Well, guys, before tonight's game, Coach already had great things to say about John Conchar.
14:50Talking about how he's a great connector on both sides of the ball.
14:52He has such great feel when it comes to spacing, when it comes to cutting.
14:56And his steals, his blocks, his tip-outs, really on both ends of the floor.
15:00He really stands out.
15:01And he's so competitive.
15:03And it also allows him to play with so many different types of groups, as we've seen since he's come
15:07to the Jazz right before All-Star break, guys.
15:10And that's one of the things about John.
15:14Like he said, he really stands out.
15:16You know, physically he doesn't.
15:18Right?
15:19But what kind of game do you need to have to be able to stand out where you're a problem
15:24on the court?
15:25And he is doing that on both ends, in particular on the defensive end.
15:30Now, nothing flashy to your point, but just really the basketball smarts really shows out.
15:38There's a tap.
15:38She-boy had a look.
15:40Missed it.
15:40Rebound Washington.
15:47Well, that's a blow by one, two, three purple jerseys and a foul reaching in.
15:53Will Riley at the line for a potential three-point play?
15:56Yeah, this is just a lack of commitment right here.
15:58You saw Bez and Bang reach, and a lot of times, instead of reaching, just take a lateral step over.
16:05Just to throw that downhill driver that time, Riley, off.
16:14Riley to start tonight is 13th, and he comes up short.
16:18That ball nearly tapped in by Cody Williams.
16:20No one could retrieve the loose ball in the bucket to Jameer Watkins.
16:29That's one of the things you don't want, especially on a free throw attempt.
16:33It's for the opposing team to get that ball back.
16:40And the Williams just lost it on the dribble there.
16:43Floating it back on D and the Wizards right now having their way, running the court.
16:47The bucket to Jaden Hardy.
16:50Jazz getting a little bit careless now, maybe in too much of a hurry.
16:56They're spending a lot of energy on the defensive end.
17:00As Washington goes on a 7-0 run right now, guys need to take their time in the half court.
17:06No primary scorer out there, really, so you've got to move that ball.
17:09And Bain dishes off to Conchar.
17:11Good look.
17:12Wide open three.
17:13Rattles up and out.
17:1522-13.
17:17Coming up on four minutes of play in the first quarter.
17:19Step back three.
17:22Conchar in the paint by himself with the rebound.
17:27Well, this is just a five-out, really.
17:30A four-out, one-in with Oscar in the dunk spot.
17:33Here's Kennedy Chandler.
17:34First time on the floor.
17:35Slip pass down low.
17:36In Bain.
17:37See, that was that bang-bang look.
17:39Yes.
17:40And that doesn't happen unless in Bain.
17:42I'm sorry, unless Oscar Sheboy moves from the left side.
17:46Dunk spot on the baseline to the right.
17:48Giving Bain that layup.
17:51Jazz delivered their seventh assist on seven.
17:54A field goal shot blocked by Conchar, but picked up and scored by Washington.
18:00Yeah, those are just missed opportunities.
18:03Great block.
18:04You guys have to find a way.
18:05That becomes a 50-50 ball at that point.
18:08Anthony Gill.
18:09Over the top pass.
18:11Conchar in Bain.
18:13Sheboy in traffic.
18:15Rushed it just a bit.
18:17Jumps off the rim.
18:17And here comes Washington with just over three minutes of play.
18:21Opening quarter.
18:31A little slip and slide by Hardy.
18:34That's like gravy.
18:35He's just smaller than Bowler.
18:37He's just smaller than Bowler.
18:40And Bez and Bang just smothered.
18:44Watch this pass.
18:46You get the slip on the screen.
18:49Oscar Sheboy moves to the other side and there's a lot of room there for Bez to just lay it
18:56in.
19:00Shereph Cooper.
19:01A two-way players checked in for Washington.
19:04Rebound.
19:05And another foul.
19:07Sheboy looks at Cody Williams.
19:12A lot of that comes from when
19:14your defensive rebounding you
19:16have to be aware of players that
19:17are right behind you trying to
19:20find a gap to get that ball and
19:22Riley finds that space and gets
19:26there with fortunate the jazz
19:27camp two shots Will Riley.
19:39He's a jasmine living at the
19:41free throw line of late at 36 of
19:4443 against Toronto here on Monday
19:47night that's 43 attempts they've
19:49yet to they've yet to take a free
19:51throw as you see Blake Henson
19:54check in Conchar comes out.
19:59A lot of that with this group is
20:03because they're not really trying
20:05to drive on top of the basket the
20:07ball is moving around and then
20:09finding open looks whether
20:11they're under the rim or outside
20:13for shots.
20:17Cody Jap step takes on two white
20:19jerseys high floater cut the air
20:21and in that's bucket for Cody.
20:24Very nice.
20:24He has really worked on that
20:26mid-range game.
20:29Six points on three of seven from
20:31the floor 26-17 Wizards.
20:39Inside out three is away.
20:43That's good help on the drive but
20:46the Wizards spray that ball out.
20:49You know Hardy's an interesting
20:51story.
20:51He's four years T in the league.
20:53He played at Cordenado High School in
20:54Henderson Nevada came out undrafted.
20:58And as I mentioned now in his fourth
20:59season foul on the shot by Kennedy
21:03Chandler.
21:04Yeah this is really a skill that
21:06Cody has worked on during the summer.
21:08We saw him as kind of a catch and
21:10shoot three early on last year.
21:12But he's worked on getting downhill
21:14trying to take advantage of the
21:16angle.
21:17And when the help comes he spins
21:19away from the help D.
21:21Nice little turn around jump shot.
21:24So first free throw attempt for
21:26Utah comes up short Chandler will
21:28get another.
21:34Kennedy playing in his just his third
21:36game with the Jazz and he misses a
21:38pair at the line.
21:40Under two to play.
21:42Jazz have given up 29 points here.
21:44So far in the first quarter of
21:46Washington shooting at a 58% clip.
21:52Riley turns a corner.
21:53Slips and slides inside left hand
21:55drive.
21:56He put the Jazz to sleep on the
21:58defensive side.
21:58Oh that's why they're shooting such
21:59a high percentage because pretty
22:01much everything is in that purple
22:03area.
22:04Jazz you have to figure out an
22:06answer.
22:07Fly off the glass counted in one.
22:10Nice strong move by Blake Kinson.
22:12The Stars season is complete.
22:15So Blake available more often.
22:17This is his 11th game.
22:18With Utah Jazz.
22:20Nice job there knowing where.
22:24The defense was he just puts on
22:26the brakes for a second.
22:27Gets Hardy on his back.
22:30The bowler.
22:31The Wizards only.
22:32Two for six from three.
22:34So to my point.
22:36The Jazz have to figure out a way
22:38to make it tougher for them.
22:40To get in that restricted area.
22:43Henson completes that three point
22:45play.
22:4631 20.
22:54Henson collides with Cooper.
22:58And a whistle on Henson.
23:04Yep.
23:05He had something on his chin and
23:07Henson's just trying to get it off.
23:09Hey look a little lunch.
23:10My bad man.
23:11That was a little lunch.
23:11Sorry man.
23:12I'm bad.

23:18there Cal.
23:19Just trying to help.

23:21I used to do that by the way.
23:23Oh yeah.

23:27First one takes two bounces and in.
23:30Substitution.
23:31Juju Reese checks.
23:32Back in.
23:33Will Riley comes out.
23:38Sariq Cooper.
23:39Second year.
23:40Two way.
23:40Contracted player out of Auburn.
23:43Jankachar.
23:44Return.
23:45She way out.
23:46For Will Hardy.
23:59And the second shot for Cooper.
24:01Up and good.
24:07John Contras.
24:08Having a box out.
24:10Julian Reese on that pre-throw line.
24:12Makes it tough.
24:14Taylor tried to squeeze that pass to Conny.
24:16Char out of bounds
24:29Cooper
24:30Shovels a pass back out to hardy. He'll take the three
24:34But the bounce finds its way back out to Washington one bounce and call offensive foul down low
24:45Yeah, Gigi Reese. Yeah, Gigi Reese was trying to box out
24:50Henson Benson was trying to get get to the
24:55the help
24:59Gigi Reese just kind of put an arm out
25:02Got that foul. It's a good hustle though by henson eight points and five rebounds for reese
25:09He's undrafted out of maryland like the jazz the wizards are taking a look at a lot of young potential
25:1713 on the shot be jazz possession
25:28The jazz can get some looks for henson are the best three-point shooter on the court right now for
25:34the jazz
25:36He no doubt forty eight percent for blake's this season
25:41Last time he plays with 14 against the box
25:45Which was his career high
25:48Only way the jazz are going to get those
25:51Really on some really good ball movements and downhill drives
25:55Making the wizard scramble
26:00William shot blocked and now they're going to call a 24 second shot clock violation
26:06And the wizards wizards will play for the final shot no time but a nice nice block way up high
26:14by black
26:18Yeah, cody had no other choice. I mean did have a choice to just hold it but
26:22You could at least
26:24Attempt to get that shot off not a lot of time jazz are one of eight thorough here in the
26:28first quarter from downtown less than 13 percent
26:32Washington's taken seven make two
26:40Cooper gave it away on the corner three and then a half court he by williams and really the tempo
26:47of this game does not favor utah
26:50It's been kind of a half court feel
26:53Yeah
26:54Yeah, it did and I think
26:57You know the jazz came out with energy
26:59They got to recreate that energy here at the beginning of the second quarter
27:09This is something jazz nation doesn't want to hear but washington matches their largest lead after the first quarter on
27:16the road
27:17This season
27:18And that lead is 13
27:20Jazz shot 39 percent in the first quarter 55 percent for the wizards
27:27Yeah, and the jazz
27:30Really
27:31Gave that up at the latter part of the first court. I thought things were going pretty well
27:36Defense was a really good equalizer, but
27:39That pain has been a problem
27:41For the jazz defensively
27:45Low streaking inside just really no one to put a handle on reese
27:50He's in double figures now with 10 after an eight-point first quarter
27:56There's the cutter conchar
27:58Heartless somehow saved it goes baseline he's foul puts up the shot
28:09He'll be a side out for utah
28:14Tribe there's a
28:16uh
28:17He's gathered
28:20He just didn't think it looked like a shot
28:22The foul was on gill conchard drips into the paint the rebound by reese
28:36Cooper drops it to gill back down on the block
28:40is juju
28:42Recently there's no one to stop him at the moment. Yeah, and the wizards will keep going to the well
28:51Nice drive there
28:52Blake henson ready set forward another 50 donation from your utah forage stores
28:57To the utah food bank and blake may be the jazz best hope right six eight 240
29:03Yeah, offensively well defensively. It's got to be collective. He's still not
29:08Big enough. He might be your best chance on the post up, but right there
29:12Doesn't waste any time gets to that angle on the baseline
29:16nice little
29:18and fatic dunk there
29:21Elijah front court ensign again
29:25Cups it puts up the shot. He'll shoot two
29:31Smart move by the rookie
29:34Out of pit
29:38Yeah, he's got a great
29:42Basketball body when he decides to go into the paint does a great job of being physical
29:48Plus man, he can as you mentioned he can knock that three down
29:52Knocks down the free throw as we look at the upcoming schedule is brought to you by university of utah
29:57health
29:57Trusted health care partner for the jazz yes on and off the court will be in denver on friday phoenix
30:02on saturday
30:03Back to see the cavaliers and the nuggets
30:07And then off on another road trip to you starts with the houston rockets
30:12Or to believe april just around the corner
30:20Big summer awaits for the jazz
30:23Good thing starts to break
30:25henson
30:28Underneath and now washington is looking to
30:33Challenge his call juju reese is looking to challenge it
30:36I'm not sure his team is
30:45It gets a little hung on the rim there
30:50Two fouls on reese henson back at the line
30:59Henson a nice punch off the bench here t in the first half with eight points
31:04And five here in the second
31:08Yeah, the jazz are chipping away at it
31:10File there was created by a great turnover
31:16Jazz doing a great job, but
31:19As I look at the numbers
31:21It really is the rebounds
31:24Wizards are plus seven
31:2618 to 11 but seven offensive rebounds by the wizards
31:31That's just
31:32Extra opportunities offensively
31:34Henson has scored the last eight for the jazz
31:37He went one or two of the line
31:39Striding down low inside
31:40Then baying maybe got a hand up on it henson leaks out to put the ball down on the floor
31:46And gives it off to bez
31:48Well, that was a great example of a collective effort
31:51Defensively as three guys in purple jerseys
31:54clog that paint up
31:56Great crossover kennedy chandler unable to finish now the running wizards and they're going to call an offensive foul on
32:03leaky black
32:05Yeah, larger heartless had enough time to really time that one
32:09Get his feet set above the restricted area
32:15Sacrifice your body
32:16Oh, he's there. Yeah, he did turn just a little bit
32:21But he had his feet set
32:24Henson out ace bailey returns for utah
32:30He's had a five-point first quarter
32:37With his last three something right about averaging 32 points
32:42Nearly three blocks a game t. That's the beauty of what will hardy likes about the
32:47The constant improvement of ace in the paint double pump shot is away short rebound washington
32:55And I asked
32:57Ace about where he felt like he had the most improvement and he did save defense
33:10Carrington fouled he'll be at the line
33:13So ace picks up foul number two
33:25Will hardy fourth season
33:31He's been real happy thorough with the tenacity of the guys he puts on the floor look the bottom line
33:37is
33:38It's about development
33:40And he has nine games after tonight
33:43To continue to take a look and
33:45See who maybe is a future player here for the utah jazz
33:50Yeah, or elsewhere. Yes, I mean it's it's it's about development. It's about spotlight
33:56A lot of eyes in this league watches
34:02But jerry jerry sloan always say it's an audition every night every 29 other teams
34:09Looking for talent
34:16That's foul was on hardy jay jayden hardy with three and at the line goes and bang
34:29Jazz coming up short on free throws now four of eight and bang will get another
34:45And bang played at yale we've seen his offensive ability, but also it's all about defense three time
34:51ivy league defensive player of the year
34:54That's three untouched and a great release by black scores his first triple of the night
35:00That really is what the jazz need to do on their drives that they don't have an easy bucket
35:05Tapped up great second after there by ej
35:08Boy, that's just heartless in a nutshell. That's a definition of who ej is
35:13No quit first bucket for elijah

35:57The lane and then twists and turns in the paint for two
36:03That was fabulous that dunk was just
36:07One of the best i've seen i actually talked to him about rating his best dunks and i'm sure that's
36:12going to have
36:12Be added to the list
36:16Jazz try a quick three one and done here bub carrington as a ball knocked out of his hands and
36:22out of bounds by heartless
36:27Fans are still buzzing in the building on that dunk right there
36:32Just a nice drive
36:34Find it finds a gap between two players and just he knew
36:40That he was going to dunk that there's no other thought look at that
36:43Come on say

36:53Wizard stop and go there's a driver inside and the two hand put down by gill
37:02Gills coming off a
37:0518 point game and a loss in new york on sunday that tied his career high he only missed two
37:10shots in 10 attempts

37:43Yeah, the hustle is definitely there
37:46By the jazz and they're expending a lot of energy

37:55early

39:51Contract quickly fills the gap and knocks it out of the hands of koulibaly
39:59That's what he does and that's not easy to do with a guy on the move going downhill like that
40:04usually ends up
40:05With a whistle and a foul
40:08And the pump bucket koulibaly out of france
40:14Six point half five here in the second quarter
40:22Conchard left to right dishes off the corner they pass out harkless good ball movement to bailey shot clock down

40:55I'm a hustler, baby

41:00Trying to save the play
41:03And free throw opens up a 20 point lead here for washington
41:07Conchard three fouls

41:16Utah's bench kiante's air shibway henson
41:20Sends a ball
41:2730 bottom line is icy talent
41:31For sure
41:38Second shot jumps out
41:43Ball taken away from ace there's a drive in a bucket
41:47Washington having their way right now watkins
41:50A second round pick last summer out of florida state a couple of buckets in this first half
41:55And the lead is 22 54 32
42:01Yeah, the jazz just unable to find
42:05Some consistent offense from deep they're getting looks inside good defense there by the wizards, but jazz are one for
42:1111
42:12On the three-point line carrington grabbed his own miss feeds the ball back down low in
42:17Side jazz you're grabbing and i believe they caught ace bailey
42:25Ace now with three fouls
42:28Elijah hart was pulling everybody together
42:31To talk defense maybe doing your work early
42:35Communicating down there
42:38Wizards are really planning a couple of guys
42:42In the paint
42:55She way checks back in
43:01Case will come out to throw with the three fouls
43:05And seven points coaching moment there with will and his rookie
43:20Things are working right to you get a triple hop for a free throw that's eight for koulibaly
43:30Wizards have outscored the jazz in the second quarter 23 to 12
43:36Chandler embanked drive stops and goes in the paint floater up and out good look she boy trying to reach
43:42in rebound washington
43:49Okay, washington has not allowed the jazz upon any rhythm in this first half and there's a bounce and two
43:55more for juju reese
43:58Yeah, and the wizards have all the rhythm in the paint
44:02offensively
44:04That's 14 for reese tees miss one shot in seven attempts
44:09Heartless attacks they shut the door now the corner is open and the three is away and the jazz still
44:14their three-point woes are real one of 13
44:20I got one at 12 and then you answer on the other end is a three
44:27Carrington
44:34Jazz giving up 61 points here with four minutes left in the first half ball pops out of the hands
44:41of kennedy
44:48Yeah, there really is a problem boulder when you can't
44:51generate offense
44:53And your defense just isn't holding up you're focusing so much on trying to stop the wizards
45:00You're not getting good looks yourself on the offensive end
45:03foul on in vain
45:05reach around
45:07Trying to poke it away, but picked up the foul his third and when you look at the
45:14The actual lineup
45:17These guys
45:19Out there now are their main focus and maybe their main superpower if you will is on the defense of
45:24them
45:27And so the wizards found the weakness the achilles heel is in the paint and they're taking advantage of it
45:33And the jazz can't generate points
45:36On the other end especially from deep
45:42Right this is the first makes the second
45:5012-point half for the rookie and a 30-point lead for washington
45:54Who are only five wins on the road five and 29 their last road win t at detroit february 5th.
