00:22Oscars first point of the half
00:25The Aries is having a field day
00:28In that pain
00:3116 points
00:33And Harkless answers back
00:40Harkless is now to a six from the floor she did not want to give up ground
00:45But I tell you Reese's just showing the muscle inside 16
00:51Where Juju Reese make it 18 now at eight of nine from the floor eight of nine
01:00Nine rebounds through nearly a double-double here in the first half
01:10Now Washington will take the timeout
01:13Clock runs down to 228 left in the first half jazz in a hole down 31 back after the timeout
01:24Night here at Delta Center
01:26There's so many cool activations going on around the arena. Let's take a look at all this awesome stuff going
01:31on
01:31You see these dancers up here. This is Ali Atasi Productions. They're based out of Utah County
01:36They perform live music and they have traditional Polynesian dances all over
01:41You see the jewelry the lays really awesome stuff and also the more dancers
01:45They said it's awesome having this here tonight at Delta Center and also the Haka this was right before tip
01:51-off
01:51But again these everyone told me that this is cool to get the culture out there and that this just
01:56gives a glimpse for people
01:57Who might not be familiar with it to the music the vibe and to the soul guys
02:03I love it
02:04I love it
02:05Great cultural presentation and the Haka tea
02:15Jazz need to find some inspiration. Well, maybe that's the start on a missed layup down low by pub
02:22Carrington
02:25But not much luck in the paint that fall out of the hands of Shibuya and the Wizards back the
02:30other way coming up on two minutes of
02:31Play stolen read perfectly by Williams
02:34EJ break away
02:38Finally the jazz user defense infuels the oh
02:42Well, you said it before that there's a
02:45Pretty big hole being dug and the only way you can
02:49At least try to climb your way out of it is on from the defensive end and then
02:56Trying to hit buckets on the other end from that defense
03:00He'll score that last bucket for the Wizards
03:03That's where he's just not falling here in the first half of the jazz
03:07Chandler is over for the transfer
03:09But the bucket on the follow-up by and bang
03:16No question about the effort though bowler I mean that's where it has to start
03:21There's a lot of effort I'm thinking that because of the short rotation
03:26There's it's same exact play
03:28Cool Wally with it's put on the jazz a couple of plays ago
03:35I'm saying because of the short rotation
03:39I'm sure some guys are getting a little fatigued out there
03:43Yeah
03:43Over the last couple of weeks has been basically
03:46Eight man eight man rotation for will
03:50And it's going to take a lot more of this for the jazz that they got out of that pit
03:55Nice defense there and finishes real nice only
03:59One pass needed and then oscar shivway with the rebound
04:04Nice little scoop shot there by bez
04:11Chandler the free throw
04:14A minute to play first half 70 40 washington
04:24Take one this one a rebound through the right hand of shivway
04:32DJ trying to shut the door out front
04:35Ball pressure they break it three is on the way and that's an air ball
04:40Delivered up top by riley good contest there though by bez
04:46Harkless to his left takes the bump turns and fires here's cody straight away
04:53And a foul in the paint got a push i believe gill got shivway out of the way
05:00She's way went up and
05:01You know just kind of shoved and gave him a little help
05:05Towards the baseline
05:09The numbers for oscar this year about six points and five rebounds a game
05:14He does his his job in the paint 65 percent from the floor
05:20I really like what he does he's the kind of player that
05:24Knows for the most part he's the undersized big so he
05:29Really has to do a lot of his work early
05:31Three
05:41Two for two on that trip for oscar
05:48Jazz are now nine of 15 for the free throw line
05:52Washington 13 and 19
05:54But they continue to shoot the ball wealthy third 57 percent in the first half yeah, the wizards really aren't
05:59allowing the jazz
06:02Much open opportunity from deep that's just a strong strong move by koulibaly
06:07Yeah, cody williams pays for it
06:12You guys get below the belt there
06:16Straight away three that's a way to end the half
06:191.4
06:20Yes, but
06:21Kennedy chandler dialed it up and an eight point second quarter
06:25And maybe that fuels a little attitude adjustment t at halftime
06:30Well, you hope so because there's a lot of work that needs to be done
06:33to get back into this game and
06:36You can't
06:39Really can't uh
06:41Fault the effort because the effort has been there
06:43But the wizards have take on taking a lot of advantage of the jazz in the paint
06:47so the jazz yet to have a double figure score washington has three they score 72
06:55in the first half they hold utah to 45 after the break stats and highlights it's a mark miller subaru
07:01halftime report utah's only negotiation free subaru retailer
07:09seconds away from the third quarter
07:11Let's look at our bill ford proud leaders brought to you by your local four stores visit by fordnow.com
07:17juju reese having his way t with 18 riley 12 koulibaly with 11 for the jazz
07:23is chandler and henson both with eight ace bailey struggling with seven
07:29and cody williams big team six points all six in the first quarter
07:34Yeah, well the jazz
07:36got to give him
07:38a good grade for effort but juju reese is having his way with him and he's doing it
07:44inside that paint he's playing bully ball he's playing daycare
07:49everything
07:50and the wizards just keep going to him he comes off the slip on the screens
07:54and really there's no contest out there especially with the jazz playing small ball
07:59that can really help he wants files here and there
08:02but uh
08:04he's only missed one shot
08:06so nice double double for him and t that brings us to our uh chipotle real difference maker and he
08:12has been a difference maker 18 points on eight of nine from the floor plus the 10 rebounds
08:16the last time we saw reese was in washington march 5th and he goes 18 and 20 so you know
08:24he's on the radar
08:25of will hardy's you know staff trying to work out a game plan tonight but he's had his way
08:31yeah he has and it hasn't been a lot that jazz could do i mean they could pack guys down
08:36in the paint
08:37but if he gets positioned he's got the height you know he's got the first touch if it comes off
08:42the rim
08:42and that's why he's double figure rebounding yeah paint points plus 14 for washington and also second
08:50chance points 18 to 8 in favor of washington
08:58see it always comes down to three four minutes of the second half as we start here
09:03a little cleanup after some halftime entertainment but how did the jazz respond to that's what will
09:10hardy will ask and we'll we'll find out yeah i mean you look at the score and you you say
09:15is it possible
09:16well it's probably not probable that the jazz the bottom's going to fall out for the wizards but you
09:23know this really is about effort and execution and just trying to make it as difficult as possible
09:30so the points don't pile on by the wizards cody williams with an early deny and bang front
09:37court off the ace he had some foul trouble with three gets the shot away and takes a bounce off
09:43the
09:44top of the backboard rebound washington the wizards have lost 16 consecutive games
09:53they've not won since february 20th against the pacers and an easy two there to start the third
09:59quarter for will riley he was four at 10 but still scored 12 now with 14. the wizards go back
10:06to the well
10:06riley slips that screen and they just kind of lob it to him for an easy layup
10:13punch our hands off cody wide open shot takes it great now with eight points on four of six from
10:21the floor very comfortable with that look now there's good help there by john when he steps out of bounds
10:32contact doing a great job of setting up cody for that mid-range jumper just a nice rhythm catch and
10:37shoot release
10:42now front riley takes the inbound pass drops it over the top to reese zero steps at home and just
10:48put
10:49three defenders and look like again cody williams who's who has a short sore right shoulder maybe
10:56tweaked it there t yeah it looks like it was aggravated there by that three's drive nice bucket there by
11:02a stance or though
11:06five chart picks up his third dime 15 assists on 19 makes by the jazz
11:13he's just going to keep going to him inside draws a double team this time the jazz stand firm heartless
11:21paint dry circuit shot rolls it over the top and the reach out rebound by reese
11:36he's got a carry and a turnover
11:42nice athletic finish here by ace bailey for the defense can get over the help
11:47doesn't even come down with it just leaves it up there high
11:50so it can't be blocked and puts it off the glass
11:53there's ace going to work again they put two defenders now one sacks off on cody
12:00and bang try to screen stopping papa j up and out nice look rebound pulled in by reese
12:10little volley splits it two defenders drops it all down low inside
12:15he was covered t but a nice dime inside to riley we had three jazz players in the paint but
12:21they were
12:21focused on the drive and did not guard for the dump down
12:28ace just simply dribbled that ball off his foot and the jazz turned it over for the 11th time
12:48that's where black was looking inside to reese and the ball finally stripped away cody on a drive
12:54hangs it up and in good defense there by ace bailey that's where the jazz
12:58when they are effective down there they've been able to strip the ball
13:03from reese and other players who have looked like they had easy looks another assist for conchar
13:09a three uncontested well a little bit late there by conchar but carrington wound it up
13:17eight points for bub
13:20he does shoot 39 from downtown cody first quick first step was quick but the recovering of
13:27we're going to count as a goaltend
13:32of the defense right a good strip by ace jazz take advantage on that possession
13:39nice finesse finish by cody
13:43williams the first jazz man to score double figures washington wide open look from three heartless
13:51try to go coast to coast the full 94 feet bounce it inside another bucket for williams 14
14:01eight here in the third quarter really how the jazz started the first quarter with that kind of
14:06activity offensively that really hasn't been the problem other than the three-point line
14:11problem's been defensively
14:13wizards really getting what they want if it's not inside to reese
14:17it's outside for mid-range looks carrington heating up a bit with eight here
14:24now make it 10. leijer hartless finding nothing below but nice timing on the cut
14:32by cody williams
14:42leaky black with four fouls
14:53jameer watkins will check in
15:01ace the cutter jumper teeth rolled it in rolled it out that ball looked in
15:09just had enough spin the roll right back off the head to the rim
15:16and they look at this on a closeout reckless closeout heartless jumps into the shooting path of riley
15:24yeah i really don't think
15:26not sure they're going to look at it but from first look i just thought
15:29right at the end of the three dj put his hand on on riley that's when they gave him the
15:36whistle
15:37may have stepped on his foot just a little bit
15:47right at the end of the three riley got up to a strong start throw with 11 in the first
15:50quarter
15:5312 at halftime now five at six quick points here in the third
16:06cody williams the only player in double figures for the jazz
16:11but he's got nine but the jazz have just not been able to
16:21consist to have a consistent run
16:25washington ties her largest lead of 31 as ace tries to find space
16:29this down inside and one and bang impressive bucket filled the paint
16:35and bailey gets the dime and a potential three-point play for and bang and the jazz
16:41don't really have a lot of scoring options but to make those cuts
16:47or to get downhill and draw some defense off the three they're not getting many three
16:52looks or makes to that point so they've got to make those backdoor cuts when their defense
16:59their defender turns his head they've got to go and that's how the jazz have really gotten their
17:04points here in this third quarter you saw the jazz they have shared the ball 19 assists on the 23
17:10field goal makes blocked cody got a hand up and bang drives euro step at home and rolled it off
17:17the
17:18back of the back of the iron oh baby like to have that one back over the top
17:24out tapped up out rebound by bailey and leaves it out front for heart goes for the drive can't finish
17:36him bang trying to fire a pass in the paint not going to bounce by washington
17:43a lot of energy spent oh man a couple of guys uh hanging on their knees right now t 86
17:5057 we've got
17:51a timeout 6 35 to play in the third hey hey oh oh
18:05i'm low i'm low i'm low i'm low
18:10i'm helping i'm helping i'm helping i'm helping i'm out you take you take it you take it i got
18:14yours
18:14i got yours i got yours i got yours john
18:18nice
18:20sideline sounds compliments of that's him bang t that is a great example of how the communication
18:26works on the floor you don't hear it because bez obviously is mic'd up but you have to talk it
18:32where are you i got your guy you got mine that's the most important thing about
18:36the defensive end especially with this lineup is you have to communicate you have to be
18:43in tune with each other just as you would on the offensive end
18:50ace bailey back to work trying to back inside turn spins fires up a shot had to rush it a
18:55bit rebound
18:56washington as we come up on six minutes nearly halfway through this third quarter
19:02jazz on a flight tomorrow play denver on a back-to-back nuggets and suns
19:09stepping to the left and the three ball on a splash down bucket by jameer watkins
19:25defense has been impressive at times tonight by washington trying to scoot through a double
19:31team conchar reached in now he picks up the loose ball and we got heartless down
19:37ace goes for three rebound pulled in
19:42is just everywhere
19:46to his second and third efforts are high level conchar now six points nine rebounds four assists
19:54yeah i just love his presence out there he just finds a way
19:58to try to impact the game
20:05all those around the ball and guess who picked it up conchar
20:10leaves it for cody doesn't matter i mean the jazz are down 30
20:15the contract's playing like you know they're only down five
20:20and that's really the the whole idea is you've got to keep playing
20:28regardless of what the score is he's also
20:31pocketed two block shots as he flies out to contest but the three folds in front of the jazz bench
20:39hardy now
20:42goodness ace
20:45up here he is a highlight reel in the making t
20:50yeah put that one on the list ace
20:53because that was amazing
20:57never touched it with the offhand bowler
21:00just wraps around the left side of the rim
21:03yeah the jazz are down quite a bit but they're still working
21:0830 plus
21:10but what you're really looking for especially if you're a coaching staff or guys who are
21:13continuing to play and impact the game john conchar is one of those guys i think he deserves
21:18some love because every time he goes out
21:21he impacts the game in some way and as the jazz build this team for the future
21:27it's guys like that that really are going to be
21:32the the root of the defense and allow them to be a great great offensive team
21:37yeah you saw those numbers to it it's right to your point punch our six points yes
21:42ten rebounds four assists a steal two block shots
21:47and those are the things
21:49that look
21:50coaches gm's have to take take note of i do and it matters i mean yeah maybe the game is
21:57out of reach
22:00key boy has the ball stolen two-hand flush on the other end leaky black
22:05no pun intended leaked out and got an easy two-hand flush
22:09well maybe a pun t i got to find some levity saw what you did there
22:12that's what you're going to do
22:15cheap way hands off conchar no look past dribble drive baseline tripped up
22:20ball still loose picked up by the wizards
22:2514 turnovers now by utah kulevale
22:30flies up to three splash it down and bang a bit late
22:35and harden from kulevale 14 for harden
22:53so watkins picks up foul number one
23:08harkless
23:09two of ten rough night shooting four points all in the first half five assists
23:15and that free throw jumps out
23:20jazz are just nine of 17 from the line
23:30so harkless scores his first point of the second half
23:34ninety seven sixty two
23:41ball you said it earlier
23:48there's a group of guys out there that are auditioning
23:54again
23:57the points on the scoreboard really don't matter at this point for the jazz it really is about these guys
24:02saying
24:03look i'm giving an opportunity so i've got to go out regardless of what those numbers say
24:10and try to have an impact on this game
24:14and know that once we're done i've left it out here so
24:19the game isn't very exciting but as a former player that's what i look at i know that's what coaches
24:24look at as well
24:29who wants to
24:31wants to play and compete chibwe rebound off the miss

24:56ball comes loose chibwe
24:58harkless
25:00finally quarter three good

25:17booner on radio and david lock i want to be the best undrafted player in the nba
25:23that's right that's how he's playing i mean that's that is a great thought
25:28and boy you have to work your you know what off well there have been some great stories made
25:33by that kind of
25:36thought

26:11the jazz finding some rhythm here late in the third
26:149-0 run t that's the first time we talked about a run in this game yeah
26:20that's the attitude you have to have if you're the jazz
26:24just keep chipping away at it keep doing your thing
26:29i'm trying to put a hand up deflect sit out will hardy talked about deflections how important those
26:34are as well those are the type of plays that don't show up on the box score yeah that's right
26:40and there

28:59exploration has begun that's a good word but it's going to happen i i just have a feeling it's going
29:04to happen adam silver's been talking about it long enough
29:11pull down to sonic gear yeah i got a couple of buddies up in seattle that just can't wait
29:22chandler opens up the fourth quarter for the three
29:25i tell you when you miss a long shot t as we talked about all year long just to try
29:29to transition back
29:30on defense so difficult to do and koulibaly flushes down an easy bucket
29:41chandler with his answer just blows by defenders nice layup for himself
29:49let's check in fourth quarter lg when you guys look at what these 10-day players are doing like
29:55kennedy chandler like bez and bang will hardy says what those guys do is not easy and austin
30:00ange actually told me we're looking at players to bring in we're looking for guys who can play hard
30:04who can set an example and he says the guys that they have brought in their energy is going to
30:08leak
30:09it raises everyone else's energy on the court it's also a reminder for our players how tough the guys
30:15in the g-league play so they're rooting for these 10-day players when they come here to join the
30:20jazz
30:20they brought a lot of life to the team austin age told me and that's part of the culture they're
30:25trying to build here and it's not about
30:29thinking that you can step out on the court and coast through a game you've got to go 48
30:36as hard as you can and these guys out here tonight are just trying to be relentless all the way
30:44down
30:44to the end of the game jazz double team the passer
30:52got a body down whistle
30:58juju reese the foul
31:01will be his fourth
31:05he sat down utah and ace bailey checks back in big t
31:11jiji reese just got that foul but he's five rebounds away from another 20 rebound game against the jazz
31:23ace ball knocked out of his hands here's instant back on the floor spins blocked
31:29i'll say leaking black six six got some hops and the jazz will
31:34get the possession back out of bounds can be chandler just a nice job of anticipating that pass
31:42trying to catch washington before they could set their defense drives and a foul smart move
31:54cooper the foul his second
32:00jazz tonight t10 of 18 from the line
32:04that's 56 percent washington 16 of 22
32:12here the jazz have taken one more shot
32:15and the wizards 77
32:17which is have taken 76 overall but that glaring
32:20three-point number for the jazz
32:22three for 22 for 14 percent is
32:26obviously really hurt them
32:28wizards shooting 41 percent not great but
32:32good enough for them because they've gone inside and out
32:39off to miss the rebound by cody
32:43and some passes inside con char just muscled home to
32:54eight points 12 rebounds for concharts taking just eight shots in 31 minutes
33:01reaches up how about another one 13 in his back pocket 13 rebounds jazz push ahead
33:07henson winds up three
33:11that's work
33:13that's extra pass by hayes finds

38:49ball ball ball that defense by the jazz in this quarter is really igniting some great offense like that dunk
38:56and then henson he had the heat check
38:58now let's start to fire again
39:00with the and one
39:03it's like a superhero landing to
39:05just rolled over on his knee put a cape on him team that's all he needs
39:09to do as long as the game a few more years five fouls on hardy the three ball career night
39:13for blake henson
39:15he had eight at the half did not score in the third and the jazz now with a 22 to
39:22two run
39:24it's like they're checking for a reckless close out
39:27on henson's shot
39:31And as I look at it on the
39:34jumbotron what they're looking
39:35at.
39:37Looks like jazz may get it.
39:48It was determined that this was
39:49a reckless closeout.
39:51And it's a made basket.
39:52So we would make you shoot two
39:54to make one.
39:56Yeah.
39:57And it looked like it what what
39:58I saw what they were watching.
40:01Came into Blake Henson space.
40:06Blake Henson the NBA body 6 8 2
40:1040 T rookie played a pit.
40:12This is his 11th game in a jazz
40:14uniform and he is putting on a
40:16show here in quarter number four.
40:18Here's the closeout.
40:19He goes straight up and then in
40:22the landing zone.
40:24So the reckless closeout will put
40:25him at the line two to make one.
40:27Yeah.
40:28That's a better angle right there.
40:41The jazz trailed.
40:43By 37.
40:45And T they cut it to 13 on a 23 to
40:48two run led by Henson.
40:50With 13 here in the fourth.
40:52Bowler when they were down 31
40:54points I said improbable.
40:55I didn't say impossible.
40:57There's plenty of time here.
40:59The jazz can.
41:02Keep this energy.
41:04In the building.
41:06Continue to play that type of D.
41:11Ace Bailey.
41:13Inside out.
41:14Conchar.
41:15And bang drives glass and the
41:17rebound to Washington.
41:18No call.
41:22Watkins.
41:23Front court.
41:25Wizards.
41:26With a foul on the floor.
41:32Arkea player profile spotlight.
41:35Who else.
41:35But Blake Henson.
41:37Had a terrific run tonight.
41:39Career high of 21.
41:40Six of eight.
41:41From the floor.
41:42Including four of five.
41:43From three point land.
41:45And he's helped the jazz.
41:46Push back on Washington.
41:48Down 13.
41:50Just under six minutes to play.
41:54Score.
41:57A nice drive down inside by Sharif Cooper.
42:00He's in double figures with 10.
42:02Turn around Jay.
42:04How about that shot?
42:05He's got that down.
42:06Cody.
42:07Cody goes now for 20 on 10 of 18 from the floor.
42:10A little hezy right before.
42:12Then he just.
42:14Step towards his right.
42:16Very comfortable shot for Cody.
42:18His last five.
42:1920 points a night.
42:20Four assists.
42:2150% from the floor.
42:23Why is it 50 T?
42:24It's because of that little mid range.
42:26That he's confident in.
42:27And also.
42:28Able to play on the rim.
42:29Yeah.
42:31Yeah.
42:31Cody's a very smart player.
42:32He.
42:32He rarely takes a bad shot.
42:35And his timing for his shots.
42:37Are really good.
42:38Doesn't try to overdo it.
42:41Just does a nice job in managing.
42:43Offensively.
42:46Washington goes baseline.
42:48A block out backside of the.
42:50Easy bucket tee.
42:51That's the.
42:52The size of Juju Reese.
42:54That's been a problem all night.
42:5522 points.
42:58Yeah.
42:58The Wizards have really taken advantage of.
43:01What you can do with that size in the paint.
43:06Bang.
43:07Passed down.
43:07Comes out top.
43:08Tried to screen.
43:09Ace Bailey rotates out.
43:12Quick hit three.
43:15But he would roll you to sleep through.
43:17He let that ball go in a hurry.
43:18Yeah.
43:19He's just so good.
43:20With those.
43:21Fast twitch muscles.
43:23Just.
43:23Rising up quickly.
43:25Before the defense.
43:25Really can contest.
43:26Jazz about score the Wizards.
43:27In this fourth quarter.
43:2827 to 13.
43:34He's feeling.
43:35Timing the block.
43:36No one block down again.
43:38Reese.
43:39And he picks up the block.
43:41And scores his 24th.
43:4517 rebounds T.
43:46Like you said.
43:47Working on.
43:49Back to back 20 rebound gains against Utah.
43:52Ace behind the three point line.
43:53Right hand dribble.
43:54Now he puts it on the floor to drive.
43:56Stop and pop.
43:57Jumper.
43:57Off the mark.
43:58Rebound up high.
43:59Back.
43:59And the rebound to bleaky black.
44:02And he put it on the floor.
44:08Go.
44:09Go.
44:21Go.
44:24Go.
44:25Go.
44:27Go.
44:27Andy Chandler.
44:28I like that kid man.
44:31Just a very high IQ player.
44:3414 points.
44:35Thorough.
44:357 assists.
44:37He had 13 and 9 against Toronto.
44:40Monday night.
44:41Washington.
44:42Cooper all of a sudden warms up.
44:44He drops now.
44:45Quick 5 on a 3 pointer.
44:479-2 run.
44:48And a 20 point game with 3 minutes left.
44:57Cody.
44:58Takes a baseline jumper.
44:59Comes up short.
45:00Late whistle.
45:01And two shots for Cody.
45:03Cooper the flag.
45:04His third.
45:05And a timeout.
45:062-51 to play.
45:08Down the stretch.
45:09In Salt Lake City.
45:10Wizards 1-24.
45:12Utah 1-04.
45:15Diamond plays of the game.
45:17Brought to you by Morgan Jewelers.
45:19Yes.
45:19Always brilliant.
45:20Well take your pick Jazz Nation.
45:23It's Ace Bailey.
45:25With that kind of dunk.
45:29How nice was that.
45:31Or Ace Bailey.
45:33With this one.
45:34Oh.
45:36Wicked.
45:37I mean he is just so athletic.
45:41He's had several of those tonight.
45:42But those two.
45:43Morgan Jewelers.
45:45Plays of the game.
45:46Take your pick.
45:46But number 2 is pretty.
45:48Number 2 was nice.
45:49That's real nice.
45:51Aces line tonight.
45:53A couple of blocks.
45:54Two steals.
45:5415 points.
45:555 rebounds.
45:57Of course he's been the centerpiece.
46:00Of Washington's defensive scheme.
46:03As Cody Williams is at the line.
46:09Jazz have hit just 11 of 22.
46:13From the free throw line.
46:43Jumper.
46:44A little step back.
46:45Jay looked good.
46:46Hardy.
46:46Deep.
46:4921 points.
46:51For Jayden Hardy.
46:52He had eight at the half.
47:00One thing that Cody has really improved on as well as his ball handling skills.
47:05Jazz have really put him in a position to.
47:09Sometimes start the offense.
47:12Coming down after a scored bucket.
47:15And he's doing a really good job of taking care of especially with pressure on him.
47:23Jumps in the first one through.
47:25You're right.
47:25I mean his confidence level.
47:27Had to kind of make a decision to say hey let me just be who I am.
47:30Yeah.
47:31Not be compared to brother who's an NBA title champ.
47:34But just be Cody Williams.
47:36Two for two.
47:38Yeah.
47:38But you know.
47:41The comparison sometimes unfair.
47:43But.
47:44You can see that he is.
47:46Probably been working with his brother.
47:49Because there's some things that he's been doing that are similar to what his brother.
47:52That that's that mid-range game.
47:55He has really developed that and it really looks similar.
47:59To what his brother does.
48:01See they.
48:02You know.
48:02They both say they talk quite often.
48:04They share video clips with one another.
48:06Yep.
48:07They break it down.
48:12William down front to Conchar.
48:13Catch and shoot three.
48:15Takes a hard bounce out.
48:17One and done.
48:17Here comes.
48:19Washington.
48:21To try a three.
48:22And the triples down.
48:25Leaky Black.
48:2811 points.
48:33Seven.
48:35Wizards in double figures tonight here in Salt Lake.
48:38129 to 106.
48:42And bang.
48:43He's been on the floor a lot tonight thorough.
48:45But you know what?
48:45It's all about effort.
48:47Bez goes inside.
48:48Now he's in double figures with 11.
48:55Look off.
48:57And Sharif Cooper slides inside.
49:0017 for Cooper.
49:02On 7 and 12 from the floor.
49:12Cody went for the hammer.
49:13Denied.
49:14Good for him though.
49:15Man.
49:16Like the way he's.
49:18Thinking dunk.
49:19Every time he goes to the hoop.
49:21Where last year he was a finesse that up there.
49:25It's the final minute of this one.
49:28And an easy lob for two more.
49:31A dominating 26 points and 17 rebounds for Juju Reese.
49:44Clack runs on.
49:45Jazz on a flight tomorrow.
49:47Denver then Phoenix back home for the Cavaliers.
49:51Cody drives it up inside.
49:53He adds to his total now at 24.
49:59And so you will see Washington Thurl win a road game for the first time since February 5th.
50:05And they won at Detroit.
50:08127 to 117.
50:09So just their sixth road win of the year.
50:12And they stopped a 16 game losing streak tonight here in SLC.
50:18Yeah they really did it in that first half.
50:20I mean.
50:20And that third quarter.
50:22Jazz.
50:22Just digging a pretty good hole for themselves.
50:27At halftime but.
50:29You have to love the effort in the fourth quarter.
50:34Now Utah with a thirty five point fourth.
50:38A thirty point third.
50:40And Henson fueled.
50:42The Jazz comeback.
50:46But they're gonna let this clock run.
50:49And Utah will lose by twenty three.
50:53Trail by thirty seven.
50:55So they cut.
50:56Fourteen points off that deficit.
50:59But still come up with a loss.
51:01And Utah now stands at twenty one and fifty two.
51:04And Washington wins for just a seventeenth time.
51:07And their sixth road win.
51:08And.
51:11Yeah.
51:12Bowlers we get down here to.
51:13The end of the season.
51:15You just talked about the Jazz going on the road tomorrow for.
51:18Back to back with Denver and Phoenix.
51:23You know it's the road is obviously a tougher place to play.
51:26So.
51:27Defense has to be priority one.
51:29Just to stay in the game.
51:31But tonight.
51:32Jazz just lacked the offensive power as well.
51:35I thought the game was started out pretty well.
51:37Energy wise in that first quarter.
51:39But just got.
51:39Really got away from him.
51:41The beginning of that second.
51:43The shows you again.
51:44And we always say the power of the three.
51:45But you had only seven.
51:47Yeah.
51:47Seven of twenty nine.
51:49Twenty four percent.
51:49And the Jazz just really never could recover.
51:52You mentioned the nice run in the fourth.
51:53But Utah still comes up short.
51:56By.
51:56A one thirty three one ten count.
51:58Stick around.
51:59Siegfried and Jensen.
51:59Post game report is next.
52:01We'll send it upstairs.
52:02Here's Alema and Mike.
52:04Guys.
