00:00He's been there before maybe in the second half make some closeouts for him exactly
00:06Jamal Murray who hit one check it out go to utahjazz.com for details put that in perspective a
00:14Triple-double threat, but yet for Jokic just a second time this season that he scored two points by half
00:19time
00:19He's not hunting. I mean that's this great employer. He is right. He doesn't hunt point. It just happens
00:25And I mean if he needed to turn it on he probably could but he's not that kind of a
00:30selfish player
00:30It makes you think about the language we use right we said it held them both. Yeah, is he really
00:35yeah?
00:36But I think that's why his stats are the way they are so consistently because he doesn't hunt
00:41He just makes decisions and plays the game and it just leads to that from being on the floor
00:46Cheap way a little left-hand hook shot his first bucket after an 0 for 2 first half keep an
00:51eye on ace Bailey
00:52Interesting to see how he responds here in the second half CJ 0 for 8 in the first half
00:57Just got to get him downhill some more get him to the basket
00:59Maybe get him a steal get out in transition something like that office of glass
01:05See the ball go in chief way the rebound off the miss Mike Gordon
01:10Cody way over the top here it is
01:14And that's how you get back on track it is
01:17See judge you just sent a note down at halftime
01:21Attack young fella attack. That's just I know what they told him in the locker room
01:26Already we all know what they told him. Jokic unable to connect too much length too much athleticism too much
01:32capability
01:34There's Filipowski
01:36T as you mentioned a career first half sends a ball
01:41This fires on the three-pointer and
01:44The slow trot of Jokic
01:48They feed him
01:50Free throw line extended gets it back from Gordon two-man game since the bar. This is where he's so
01:55good fires a pass inside
01:57Cody the foul Jamal will shoot to
02:02Here it is we're talking about it. Just get down that lane putting two hands on that rim for safety
02:07Just got to make sure it goes in right
02:10Yeah
02:10Yeah, he had a game similar to that on the road. It was either in Phoenix or Denver
02:15Where he could not make a basket the first hand he came out
02:19Just like this and attack the rim
02:23You look at the March per game leaders
02:26Rookie scoring Cooper flag at nearly 20 a game and right behind ace Bailey
02:30He's had a terrific month of March as we begin April. That's no fooling by the way
02:35Just wanna make sure I got that in
02:37Vijay Hedgecomb at 18-9 Renault followed by a knipple
02:44I think he's got a real shot of being all all rookie first team
02:47I think there's only three guys that are really having a better year that you could really say that about
02:52the rookies and I think
02:53He's got a chance with this late push no question
02:57Yeah, slow start I mentioned with some health to start this season
03:01And he's really exploded now two for two
03:04And I wonder if fatigue gets set in but I like the fact CJ that a this 19 year old
03:10is able to wipe away
03:11The first half and say let's go play that's been my favorite thing about watching them the last but we'll
03:17say ten games
03:18There's some games that he's had really good games in the next game not shot it as well
03:21Not played it, but his response has been
03:24Nightly he comes back. He's watching film. He's taking care of his body doing whatever he's got to do
03:28And he's been able to turn those things around and that's what builds consistency
03:31By the way that was already set for another $50 donation from your Utah forward stores to the Utah food
03:37bank
03:38Jokic turn it over now grabs a rebound for a moment since the ball
03:43He'll hang it up on the rim for two more. He needed one too. Yes, he did
03:51Bryce leaving the jazz with 20s
03:54Filipowski 19 and David Adelman will take a time blocks minutes everything you name it
04:00He's also the fifth youngest player with three consecutive 25 point games. He's just getting started guys. He is just
04:07getting started
04:08And CJ I'd be surprised. He's not on that five man list
04:14It'd be hard not to when you when you look at the numbers into this season
04:18So what he's been able to do in the improvement throughout
04:24Cameron Johnson easy run up on top of the rim
04:27Jazz about the lane to what?
04:31You'll get you able to block out she boy
04:33There's a long pass Murray waits for it takes the three and Filipowski reaches up and takes it down
04:41Flip working on it yet another double double 19 and 9
04:45Pilipowski goes 20 and 10
04:48Monday night against the Cavaliers she way one bounce plows inside and scores or on Jokic
04:55That's one of the things that
04:58Price since the ball has gotten really good at as well as playmaking when he does not have a shot
05:05You can saw the double CJ come out and he just slips a pass to Brown cheap way wide open
05:11Denver lazy getting back on D
05:13Now you see the pace change in a little bit you see guys
05:17Cut this lead down and see a little chance to you know make a run in there. They're just up
05:22for it
05:22Right now the biggest thing though is don't settle because you start to feel a little better. The threes don't
05:27have to come back that fast
05:29Catch and shoot
05:32That three jumps right back into the hands of Johnson now. Here's Jokic right on top
05:39Nothing fancy back foot about a 12 footer in the paint
05:43Yeah, Bryce sense of all with the play make there
05:47Draws a couple of defenders and
05:50Oscar she boy attacks
05:52And the bench is loving it
05:55And nuggers can't get back quick enough
05:58That's another one of the ways you attack yours, right? Like you just whoever he's guarding they got to run
06:02they got to change ends
06:05Ace Bailey picked up the foul to put Jokic at the line
06:12And a three-point play
06:15Jokic averaging
06:1627.9 points a game tonight
06:195.11 boards and 9 assists
06:24Sends a ball one bounce three
06:28Well that ball just kind of covered in the rim and dropped on through that's 23 for Bryce
06:39Continues to shoot that three-point shot consistently the Jokic goes against she boy
06:53He got flipped just to bite enough CJ on that first pump
07:01First we look at Bryce here just being a scorer
07:03But the tease point the trust they have with the ball in his hands
07:06He's he's becoming a better playmaker and making decisions on when to shoot and not and I think that's going
07:11to help him a lot
07:11To keep him in rhythm with this last play though with Joker
07:14This is from him not being aggressive in the first half
07:17Everybody knows he's going to turn it on at some point and with the way it's going right now
07:20You're getting high alert
07:21You're anxious and now you pump fakes and of course you like trying to stop the run
07:26An important thing is he knows it right he just paces himself
07:32Trying to conserve some energy until he need until until he's needed he's played 23 minutes
07:40Another free throw would jump that lead back to double digits and it's 79 69
07:49Jazz have not led
07:51Denver's largest advantage 18 in the first half
07:56Ace bailey's gone inside not once but twice now turns and fires and now that the confidence starts to roll
08:03back in
08:04That's one of his moves right there he pulls that move out a couple of games he gets guys momentum
08:08going
08:08He puts the brakes on and that that athleticism and height he just turns over the shoulder nobody can get
08:13to it
08:14Six points here in the third quarter
08:18Chee-boy try to reach in fouls Jokic
08:23Yeah, you see him he just gets guys going downhill with him you know he uses their momentum against them
08:27He knows when he turns over that shoulder. There's nobody that's going to be there. Nobody's getting up top to
08:32that jump shot
08:33He's got real good touch on it. So athletic
08:37I think he is
08:40Really coming around and learning what he has
08:44And what he can
08:46Do on the court on both sides of the ball
08:48Like the D as well thorough he really forces a shooter to take that little extra half step back just
08:55like that time for jamal
08:57Yeah, and he had a he's had a five
09:02Block shot night recently
09:05And I think that really
09:07Cemented the fact that
09:09You know he has the capability of being a better help side defender
09:14And and the problem with that is a you know a lot of coaches say this in front of you're
09:18telling on yourself
09:18That's right
09:19Like you're showing us what you're capable of and now we got to come to bring it all the way
09:22out
09:22If you've got to push you and it just showed you how much better shape you got again
09:25How much more film you got to watch and all the things that come with just turning those corners
09:30Bounce pass cheap way drives
09:33Took it away from Jokic
09:36Sends a ball gets it back double pump Jokic took it away
09:39Oh, bryce sends a ball has it but a foul and a whistle stops play what an exchange
09:46It goes one way than the other who wants it more, right?
09:51Well, they're gonna give bryce this foul but
09:54You gotta like the the energy of it
10:01There's a lot of action going on in there
10:07It's too bad for bryce
10:10That's three whistles on sends a ball back to the line goes jokic
10:17Dials up to first
10:20That walk may have worn him out
10:22Upcoming schedule is brought to you by university of utah health and trusted healthcare partner for the jazz on and
10:28off the court
10:28Next three are on the road. We'll start friday in houston move on to okc and finish up
10:33Tuesday night against new orleans
10:36Back home for one against memphis and then on the road the final game
10:41In la against the lakers and lebron
10:43Yeah, we're getting down to the end of it here
10:49We'll pass you go to buy gordon
10:53There's ace
10:54Gordon switches out
10:56Six to shoot
10:57We'll take the deep shot
10:59Three ball down the barrel i'd say i love the the turnaround
11:03He was 0 for 8 and now has dropped nine points here in the second
11:07He's in double figures with 10. It's just the response right?
11:11You got to keep that confidence high you got to take the right ones don't force
11:14You saw him on the back to the back kind of saying finally right like he's
11:18He's just trying to get one to get in get down and really attack this defense six-point game sends
11:23a ball driving inside
11:25We got tied up brown ace
11:28trailer and the bucket dropped inside by brown bruce brown now with seven after going two of four in the
11:35first half
11:37One of the biggest stats i'm noticing on denver side is jokic has zero fouls
11:44Part of that is the sign that the jazz have not attacked him enough
11:50The ball never touched the ground
11:53Gordon no call
11:56He misses a kidney sends a ball finally crawls up off the floor, but how about the filipowski rebound
12:05Defense picking up on both ends of the floor she boy drives in on
12:10Jokic could not finish
12:13stolen by bryce
12:15skip pass
12:16The jazz finally win that battle the hustle battle
12:26So you're not impressed with the no-quit attitude here in the third my goodness the jazz
12:33Rocketed defensibly
12:35Oscar up top as most those shots went around and up over aaron gordon
12:40He just kind of maybe showed a little bit on that three-point bucket
12:43But look at the first half 0 for 8 had a free throw
12:46And now nine nine points for ace here in quarter number three
12:52Utah's outscored denver in this third quarter now after that bucket 22 to 16
12:57As the joker hits double figures with 10 and this is what his shooters was present a problem for you
13:03from the first half
13:03He's in the middle of the floor and now what is the help comes
13:07And the jokers once assist away from the triple double
13:11But it's not like we're surprised
13:13This is what he does
13:15He's done it 195 times
13:18And jamal murray that's what he does there's robbing and that's how yeah
13:21That's how a game breaks open quickly and will hardy just got teed up
13:26Yeah, he felt like a should have got a call down here going baseline
13:36Coach protecting his player and you remember guy named jerry sloan did that more more often than not right?
13:42Yes, he did
13:45Yeah, that was
13:48Similar to that high five foul
13:49Yeah, and I think the arguments in the space the landing space too because he hit the floor
13:54There's no way you could be that close on the jump shot and not have and he not have his
13:57landing space coming down
14:01But we know when guys get a reputation for being defenders in the league they get away with things
14:05Referees referees are human too, so they come in with that in their brain too
14:1126 for jamal murray kennedy chandler on the floor here's ace up against brown
14:17Jeff step strolls goes baseline over the top
14:21Six to shoot for cody williams
14:24Shot clock down to two it jumps out of bounds jazz will have it with
14:291.6 on the shot clock
14:35See this is where it comes into play you practice these and shoot arounds and practice every day just that
14:40quick in inbound and hit
14:45Chandler
14:46Wow
14:48He knocked that off the back of jamal murray didn't quite work the other end the ball pops free chandler's
14:54hands are in the air
14:55Unhappy and will hardy is staring down and rot
15:00at the challenger
15:05See if george rodman gives him the gives him the whistle to go
15:13Yeah, he may have gotten the left wrist first and followed through and kind of piece of the ball
15:19Too close to quality. I think and just as close we're going to take a walk and run and shoot
15:25Maybe you'll give us a second one in washington
15:36That was chandler's first foul
15:39And brown makes two at the line
15:50Ace draws a double team cody one bounce of conchar he'll pick it up fire up to three good look
15:55and jokic
15:57has the rebound
16:02Oh, look at the big cut missed it good team a stayed right on his hip conchar runs it to
16:08the racket in
16:10Johnson i'll show you how to do it joker
16:15That may be as fast as i've seen
16:18You read my mind
16:21In years jokic
16:29Nikola jokic now with a dozen in the paint for turnaround that's a sweet shot
16:34face bailey with a dozen that 14 to 16 17 feet area because of his height and length he gets
16:40to his spots
16:40He's really developed that this year jazza chipped away several times in this game they're down 12
16:47murray
16:49Slides a pass to brown wide open three
16:53It takes a jump off the rim and conch are able to take it away from jokic
16:59Front court cody slides it off deep triple
17:03And come up short it was
17:08Count it
17:09And he's laughing about it too
17:12And he said hey did i get the do i get the dime
17:15Well ace bailey
17:18Just does a fantastic job
17:21Of spinning in the paint
17:24And then you see the swipe jokic the foul and a chance for a three-point play for john conch
17:28are
17:29Him just doing what we talked about him doing making the right plays being in the right spots
17:35Bringing some energy off the bench
17:38Now we're looking at a nine-point game
17:41Conch are 11
17:45Six at half five here in the third
17:5092 83 and 15 minutes of play two bowler for john conchard
17:56corner three
17:59Cameron johnson
18:01He's gonna be big for them down in their run down this stretch here. He can shoot that ball well
18:05for them
18:07He's gonna be big for them down this stretch here
18:12Foul
18:14Johnson is second
18:22Well that last bucket by
18:26Pam johnson gave
18:28Jokic his 10th assist
18:31Another triple dub
18:32That's 196 career
18:35Triple doubles
18:37Corner three look good out it comes
18:39Jokic there's that padded quick outlet this time picked up by conch are
18:44He knows him well chandler with a drive left hand score
18:52For this crowd alive
18:56Triple j's liking it 95 87 as we roll up on a minute to play and now
19:01Telling you we go the other way
19:05He's giving me real running price vibes out here today
19:08Lot of good energy coming off the bench changing it super explosive
19:12Then just being active here jumping in
19:14Gets him to make a mistake, but then he's gonna draw a foul down the other end
19:19He got a chance to make his own personal six-point run here
19:23Seven if he wants a three ball
19:26Channel with seven behind the back flip one bounce now drives inside spins right seven
19:33He got that ball just bounce and drop
19:36And flip will be at the line
19:39Just keep going well the operative word attack right cj. Yes, we've been saying that all night long
19:47Make them guard you
19:50All the jazz nation gets it these fans get it right. I mean they understand
19:55What the plan is with this team they're building a team
20:00They can hopefully buy for a championship in the next two to three years or so
20:04But what they appreciate is what we're seeing right now
20:07We appreciate all these guys
20:09Getting out on the court
20:11And leaving it all out there
20:12And they're I'd say they they were terrific
20:16In denver
20:19They play cleveland hard as well
20:22Got a lane violation flip will get another
20:25There's kiante george
20:29Speaking of teams showing those guys on the bench them watching them celebrate and jump around throughout the game
20:34And be into the game is also special. It's a great culture man
20:43There's a lot of good things to this team
20:44Isaiah collier there's marketing
20:46There in jack jr. Next year is going to bring a lot of good things to this team
20:49What
20:55Could be one of the largest biggest
20:58I mean most
21:01Intimidating front lines the nba has seen in a long time
21:04But the fact that you could run a lineup next year with keontae or call your
21:08Ace at the two flip at the three
21:11Orlory at the three triple j and kessler or wherever you want to play at the five right nerds they
21:16could be so big
21:18And so skilled
21:25Nurkic with 14 17 rebounds 10 assists
21:31Chandler
21:33Gets it back from him bang
21:34Decide a new 10-day deal nicely done runs it off the rack and the rebound to brown jokic quick
21:40pass ahead knocked down by him bang
21:46To this young kid aggressive 2t out of yale three-time ivy league defensive player of the year
21:54Yeah, it's been fun watching him
21:56Kind of figure things out right just throwing into the mix
22:01Focusing on the defensive end first
22:06Final seconds ticking down here on the third
22:09Another big crowd at the delta center jamal murray runs through the paint
22:14Working one-on-one against flip stays in front help by him bang
22:18With the block picked up by ace
22:22Get to the rim there you go
22:25The pass into and bang and bad scores for the first time
22:32How about a seven-point game after three quarters in salt lake?
22:3897 90
22:4012 to play at delta center
22:43Shibway along with senzaba ace bailey
22:47And the jazz have a game seven points down
22:50They did trail first half by as many as 18
22:57Balance unit starts the fourth quarter big man backs in
23:00They'll swing it up had a mismatch here t big time within bang
23:05Yeah, not a lot you can do with one guy trying to
23:09Guard balance junis in the post
23:12Gets the block con chair no look pass gets a back corner baseline drive over the top
23:18There's senzaba finds space in the paint tough shot short rebound con chart and bang back to bryce triple
23:27Love the fact that him bang gave one more pass cj here we go
23:31And that's knowing yourself k.y.p like you like to say right knowing yourself and the people you've got
23:35on the floor with
23:3626
23:38On 10 of 17 shooting for senzaba
23:43So you talk about stay with it attitude
23:47And conchar starts it with offensive rebounds
23:51And determination we talked about it yeah, it's a collective effort man
23:56I mean you you do the work you extend the possession and you get the ball into the right hands
24:03It makes sense doesn't it bryce sense the ball with the shot makes sense
24:10Bryce continues at a high clip his last
24:137
24:1425 a game he's got 26 tonight
24:17down the tuna's fly gets the rebound brown kicks it one up and the rebound to bryce
24:23Deflected and bang at midcourt. How about the ball movement?
24:27Chandler trailer dances down the baseline turns fires at the shot short and a whistle
24:32Well, kennedy chandler
24:36Busted up a big play
24:39Balanced units the fact he had an easy one
24:43The passing on the fast break
24:47I love chandler always attacking always trying to see what the defense is going to give up for him
24:53Gives itself to the line just by surveying third foul cj whistled on cameron johnson
25:01Free throw jumps in
25:11Kennedy chandler with eight points in 22 minutes check in now with lg
25:16Well guys coach hardy told me there are far fewer actual point guards walking this earth than we think
25:21There are a lot of combo guards that can transition into point guards, but kennedy is a pure point guard
25:26He also said he's adding so many paint threats when he's on the court
25:30And we just saw that after that last possession right there guys cj. We had that conversation before tonight
25:36I mean he is a born
25:38point guard to lead an offense
25:41in a league that
25:43As brown rolls one end where league is now basically positionless
25:46Yeah, we just got me in a little bit of a habit of a champion
25:51Skill right and that's not to take anything away from that
25:54But there's a lot of guys that have these abilities to be able to really be extensions of coaches
26:01Oh shot by murray trying to run it down and bang had it for a moment now. He grabs it
26:05back
26:08Conch our trailer
26:11Chandler takes the three teams
26:12Oh
26:14Conch our guess who
26:16To the ball inside the flick of the rest that's a big time bucket over all the shooters
26:22big time
26:23Why?
26:24CJ described that one
26:26I just like I like the fact that he's got it going and he says i'm done
26:29I got the fly bob still gonna get downhill and get to this rim and challenge this big guy
26:33And he just finds a way to get his touch on it price working on a 30-point night against
26:38the denver nuggets jamal with a push shot
26:40Off the rim rebound loose pick back up and scored by
26:44By murray got us as a dogfight now
26:4728 for jamal first bucket here in the fourth
26:52That was a great second effort there by
26:55Jamal
26:57But bryce wanted to file here gets down the lane
27:02Was valentunas vertical enough the refs think so
27:06But it's a beautiful move that's a close one because he's jv's definitely moving to the side a little bit
27:11with him but
27:13nevertheless
27:17Ball knocked out of his hands last touch by brown he'll be side out nine minutes
27:23To play at mid-court as sends a ball
27:3112 on the shot clock
27:37Bryce beautiful pass off the hands of conchar
27:41Love to pull the string back in on that jamal murray finds valentunas
27:50They call the foul out front first and then they pointed to conchar
27:56Well valentunas was trying to get down the court
27:59To plant himself in the lane
28:01Jazz get a little physical right here you see the swipe and
28:05And valentunas takes exception he wants to be king of the sandbox
28:09This is when it gets fun big team this is right you see that that's right you see it coming
28:14out this is when it gets good
28:16chandler picks up his second foul
28:18side out denver valentunas
28:22Working against conchar
28:26Now they switch on char ride to
28:29That's a pass up top to christian brown for the first time really showing some emotion at glass first
28:40105 97
28:438-point game
28:46Chandler wants a conchar one touch pass bryce drive kick cody lights up three
28:51He made it up and out capped up and bang had a moment valentunas the rebound to brown
29:04Well, these are two old foes
29:07One's heading to the playoffs and the ones we're thinking about next year
29:12Finzabad denies
29:14Off-balance shot tumbling out of bounds no call
29:18Valentunas the rebound swings it up inside this time conchar whistled as he pulled the arm down of
29:24valentunas
29:30In this place
29:31First of all the lob catch is already challenging before they hit the glass first and still be able to
29:36track it and put it down
29:38It's pretty remarkable
29:40And he's not a big guy. So he's already flying high
29:59It's up and good as filipowski is set to check in coaches around the league are wearing these custom autism
30:04themed nike shoes
30:06The game-worn shoes will be autographed auctioned by sotheby's from may 12th

30:24foundation great cause great idea and the coaches around the league are all in oh absolutely
30:31Absolutely they do a great job of with their support love those shoes too
30:42Inside
30:45Wow we know him as a defender and the jazz bench just jumped sky high on that baseline bucket by
30:52in bang with the left hand too
30:55Jamal murray three
30:57That's a way to quiet a crowd
31:00He had 31 friday night
31:03And he matches that total here in slc 31 for jamal
31:09Eight of 14 from three
31:14Valanchunas
31:16Takes down the rebound
31:18Brown drives scores just like that
31:21It's amazing how quick things can turn on a three ball on this shot and a runaway bucket
31:27But the bucket by in bang a moment ago was a thing of beauty
31:33It was
31:36Nice spray out there
31:38by kennedy
31:40And bang just goes to the right side of the rim with the left hand
31:48And look who's loving it the entire bench
31:52Great morgan jeweler play of the game we just had another one a second ago a five thousand dollar putt
31:58i know man
32:00During the timeout
32:05Jazz down 13 time just under seven to play there's a cutter in bay again on another wrap around
32:12The ball went on top of the backboard so it'll be denver ball
32:23He tried it on the other side looked like he he lost his footing on the jump a little bit
32:27he didn't get the same explosion
32:29Tried to make up for it at the end with a little push but we sit about 13 feet up
32:33in here
32:36Murray with 31
32:41Inside valentunas puts a double team flip got a piece
32:45He's just he's just decided he's gonna make them call the foul every time
32:48I'm just gonna put my elbows and shoulders in your chest and I get a dunk or you get a
32:53foul
32:55Yeah, it's just a bully on the block right here
32:58There's not a lot you can do but I thought the ball was just large looked like
33:04Let's see
33:08Crouches saw it here
33:09Yeah, I think they agree with the thorough valentunas
33:17Knocks down the first he's in double figures with 10 with six rebounds
33:36Two for two
33:39For yonas valentunas in his 14th season lithuania is home. Here's filipowski
33:48Conchar steps back need it three wing short conchar the rebound one more time flip dials up
33:55No one jumps off from the rebound back side to brown
33:59That's only is really giving them
34:00Spots throughout the game where it's kind of took him out of the game a little bit
34:03Kind of just looking at it not really attacking it as much
34:07See the numbers from downtown 40 percent denver 32 with a chance capped up and in valentunas
34:14By himself no one to deny the 611 big
34:20And that tells you a lot there also cj 23 second chance points
34:30Little stop and pop jumper good look cody the middle of the zone has been open the whole time
34:35They're just kind of looking you know people look at it. It's like I can't believe they're playing zone. Yes
34:40Just attack it and they'll have conch our flash a few times just to get that ball in there
34:45But they're just feeding the beast right now
34:48No calls he stumbles to the floor and bang
34:51And yes, and the jazz get a bucket on some defense on the big man valentunas
35:00And that's the answer to the zone there stops exactly that's the answer
35:0513 point game jamal murray back to work on char picks him up
35:10Just outside the paint little help by cody
35:14Out front jab strother inside
35:20Yeah, late whistle with the right whistle and then bang is down on two knees
35:29I'll slay the limbs and no joke down there at game speed though
35:32I'll tell you that yeah, you see the hip right there. I strother the left hand
35:37The nose nose jaw high
35:42Just kind of put him in stun mode
35:44That's one of those ones to go to eat dinner after the game
36:15You're like wait, when did this happen?
36:17The rhythm shot has to be there and there's the extra pass
36:20I may be open, but he's more open Kyle Filipowski
36:25Yeah, throwing the two steals and CJ a game of runs
36:29Denver went on a 15-6 run jazz now seven straight
36:34And the game is 10 116 to 106
36:39And jokic back on the floor
36:41Alan chunas did some hard work tapped up no rebound backside filipowski
36:47Foot now with 23 and 12 make it 25 on the run down the lane and the layup
36:57Just a great finish to a play
37:00Not nine straight team on the run for utah
37:05A point game back cut
37:07Hit by him bang brown the bucket
37:12Here's where they slow it down and run it through the hub, right and just
37:17Here's flip attacking that rim every time yogurt just standing at their rim. You got to try
37:23And then he answers obviously
37:26Nice pass over the top those guys doing the back screens with the shooters making guys switch and slip
37:31A lot of a lot of confusing calls in those things, but you're not communicating
37:36Christian brown looks like he's
37:39Limping a little bit, but he's got some blood on that right hand and on the shorts as well
37:43The official said what's up and he is limping a bit, but
37:47That's that quick stop magic stick
37:51To close that cut
37:53You remember briggsie with the jazz with the magic spray. Yeah
37:56Yeah
37:58We lost gary briggs not long ago terrific terrific guy
38:02great guy
38:04Great guy great family
38:06Condolences to those people. Those are great people. He was I mean that was my guy. I came in yeah,
38:10that was my guy, so
38:17One of the great trash sockers in the locker room. Oh, yeah played it dozens with him
38:22For an hour for practice some days
38:35For free throw awaits brown
38:43That ball died up there and dropped in
38:5318 points for christian brown
38:58They will stay with the jazz four minutes to play 119 108
39:11And bang on the end three airball
39:16And bruce brown covers up
39:19Now you'll see
39:21Denver try to run some clock aaron gordon slips a pass a yokich
39:27Jazz take a swipe filipowski will pick up number four
39:36Big t this is where denver is so good at playing that free throw game late
39:41yeah, and
39:43You've got one of the best in the game if yokich
39:48With time management
39:55Passed the ball ball when the she's been doing it all night
39:58I'm actually a little bit. I was a little bit surprised they put him back in the game
40:02The jazz were chipping away at it
40:05They were really going in the balance shooting us with the bully ball
40:08Then they put jamal murray back on the floor with a 12 point lead one more for yokich
40:19Triple double in denver against the jazz another one tonight
40:23This is the second free throw picked up by bailey
40:28Four point game every shot
40:32Now has to count
40:35Chandler out behind the three point line here's ace
40:41Don't settle
40:43Surveys
40:44Sends a ball back to ace catch and shoot three long short rebound yokich
40:51Now they pass it over the top to to murray
41:01This is a veterans team
41:03CJ they know each other's tendencies the turnaround j tapped out picked up chandler the other way and bang runs
41:11with him
41:11To the rack going 94 feet
41:14And one official looks at another it's going to be denver ball and that's that's just the youth mistake right
41:19there, right?
41:20He's got to see us in front of them
41:21See the timing score how big the possession is there's nothing wrong with pulling that back
41:26Yeah, and if you're going to go like that go at the player. Yeah, don't try to find the gap
41:30that late
41:31That's why murray was able to get a hand on it
41:34And they're not bailing you out nope
41:38Murray rotates out front
41:43Takes the three
41:45Well, I feel like i'm in deja vu land
41:47This is what happened in mile high city at ball arena late threes by jamal put that game out of
41:52reach
41:5434 for murray it goes back to the weight of that possession that last possession that just went right then
41:58you got a swing
42:07He's barely looking for a cutter goes over the top
42:10That time again a young player to another youngster and that ball just over the top yeah, and if you're
42:16ace
42:17The operative word attack you can attack the gaps and he kind of dribbled in the same place
42:23About four dribbles and then picked it up and i'd much rather a turnover it to attacking you now. That's
42:28right
42:30That's right
42:31Jazzed run off seven straight
42:33Now make it ten in a row and again pretty much a dagger there back to back triples by murray
42:43Chandler
42:44Chandler he ran right past aaron gordon
42:48Chandler and double figures with 11 but still time a factor with a 126 110 lead for denver
42:58This will give the nuggets seven consecutive wins and eight of their last nine
43:08This is just a tough shot too he's moving full speed
43:11Not a small guy running out of he's just building it
43:14Quick release cj said a marvelous comeback from that injury. Oh my
43:20And this is just
43:22The way that the way the game's going right now, right guys feeling good
43:26game in hand
43:29But still tonight tonight there still is it's another film session we get to go learn from another night of
43:35minutes
43:35That guys get to see how they can grow you see will hardy talking with with ace right now
43:40That's one of the things I love about will he coaches the entire game
43:43No matter the score no matter what's going on
43:45He makes sure that there's a conversation about the things that really need to be learned
43:50Which is why ace has been able to grow the way he's been growing exactly
43:55You know will said tonight too in the pregame presser that he hasn't tried to
44:00Bring him along too fast. It's been at his own
44:02Ace has helped him with him with himself with his own pace
44:06Along the way but will's been there to help you know each step
44:10I think that's important for to be able to notice and have a timeline and understand what's going on with
44:15the guys
44:15He's growing because we have a lot of talented kids that come into this league and they come in with
44:21this
44:22This reputation of being able to do everything. Well, I don't need you to do everything when you get here
44:27I need to figure out where you fit in and how we make this team the best team with the
44:30skill set that you have
44:31And I think that slow pace of learning allows that it allows you to step in okay
44:36We can use them in the mid post we can use them in the corners
44:38We can use them here, and I think that's been great
44:43And you have to you have to be accepting of that as the player that's the biggest thing we've seen
44:47a lot of conversation this year with guys
44:50wanting bigger roles and situations that
44:53That don't you don't I'm not gonna say you don't deserve it, but it doesn't call for it
44:58Exactly
44:59Now you look at what's ahead brought to you by university of utah health houston, oklahoma city new orleans
45:05That really is the last
45:07Three-game road trip one nighter in la to end the season against the lakers
45:17128 111
45:24David edelman cleared the bench
45:28His starters got the job done tonight
45:31Conchar another blocked shot now a loose ball foul called on john
45:38He's going to be in the end of the season
45:47Denver will stay up stay in the top four protecting home court advantage and you guys both know how important
45:53that is in round one and beyond
45:55And this will be their 49th win there
45:58They'll hit the 51 mark
46:00Before this season the regular season ends
46:05It's a talented team
46:07Understand each other that that core has been together a good number of years now
46:12They walk into games and able to communicate because there's so many things that
46:15They've taken off the table because of their camaraderie
46:18So we can come in and really be present and attack what teams are trying to do to us and
46:21be creative
46:22I think if there was an Achilles heel
46:25It's on the defensive side
46:27Right and especially when you talk about the playoffs
46:30And the teams who've been
46:32There
46:34You know, I you could be a great offensive team
46:37But on the night you're not shooting well, you know, we always talk about that defense being the great equalizer
46:42That's why OKC is so good at it
46:44And when you got it and when you got to play a team multiple times, there you go
46:48So now we got to sit on certain things. We're going to take certain things away
46:52We're going to make sure
46:54We take it possessing the time and exploit that one thing over and over because now it's about this game.
46:59Yep
46:59And even if you have home court advantage early
47:04The more you move on
47:05You're gonna have to play really good D at their place
47:09It's even tougher to do
47:12David Roddy just rolled in for a bucket
47:16Yeah, great points
47:21You know CJ when you play play with multiple guards but
47:25You know the veteran leadership really is the difference maker because you've been there and also that sixth sense that
47:32You you build
47:34With that core yeah, and that that that veteran leadership is pattern recognition, right?
47:40We like to use the term the game slows down for guys, but it's really just so much that things
47:44aren't so unfamiliar anymore
47:46Right like and I think when you have so many
47:50Guards your ball handlers have seen a lot of basketball and have seen every type of coverage and have been
47:55in really big games
47:56It changes the way you can attack people
47:58Because I can also rely on our instinct and not have to draw up so many things and have to
48:02slow things down
48:04Like I remember the first time I slept in the floor with earl watson. It was a different world
48:08He told me things are gonna happen before they even
48:11Like he's just seen so much basketball
48:14I had a guy like that too
48:17John stockton. Yeah, I mean
48:20He was just a gym rat, but the guy
48:24Just understood better even sometimes better than we did on those passes and we were open we just had to
48:31recognize it, right?
48:34I think that's what you see in
48:35Jokic and jamal murray they have that ability to read one another so well this veteran team
48:41Jokic gets the triple double denver 130 117
