The Utah Jazz are among the few teams not to have a player in the NBA’s health and safety protocols this season, but with Omicron raging, there’s a growing resignation to an inevitability that it will happen. sltrib.com/sports/jazz/20… – 2:05 AM Ryan Miller @millerjryan

Thanks to a 110-104 win over the Magic, the Pelicans have won nine of their last 14 games.
To put New Orleans’ turnaround in greater perspective, only the Suns, Cavaliers, Warriors, Grizzlies, Bucks & Jazz have registered more victories since November 24. https://t.co/E4qweCbLii pic.twitter.com/e8MnvprqRd – 12:03 AM Utah Jazz @utahjazz

Jaden McDaniels on what it’s like testing every day:

Interesting answer from Chris Finch on why they opted to go away from their typical at the level coverage and to drop coverage against Utah:
“We were willing to live with some of the loud 2s to take away the 3s.”
Loud 2s, like that line. – 11:32 PM Utah Jazz @utahjazz

33 for Malik Beasley.
D’Angelo Russell was 7-20, but did hit 4 of 8 3s. If he started to find his stroke, that’s the best thing that could come out of tonight. – 11:23 PM Eric Walden @tribjazz
FINAL: Jazz 128, Wolves 116. Don 28/7. Rudy 20/17/4. Bogey 18p. Mike 17/6a/4r. Joe 16/5A/4r. JC 7a and a monstrous dunk. Utah improves to 22-9. One game left on the homestand, on Christmas vs. Dallas. – 11:22 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Jazz win 128-116. It was a shorthanded Wolves team — Vegas had the Jazz favored by 15.5 — but Minnesota did move the ball, get good looks, and took some advantage of a Jazz team that knew they could win by playing at 80%.
Next up: a shorthanded Dallas team on Christmas. – 11:21 PM Jon Krawczynski @JonKrawczynski
Wolves gave it all they had. Just not enough firepower to keep up with a really, really good Jazz team.
Anthony Edwards should be returning soon. – 11:21 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
The Jazz win this 128-116….great great game from rudy Gobert. The Jazz made a ton of shots as well. I thought Minnesota played well and resilient. The Jazz just had more talent. Utah moves to 22-9 on the season. Next is Dallas on Christmas night – 11:20 PM Utah Jazz @utahjazz
JAZZ WIN!!! pic.twitter.com/BpOOqhOe81 – 11:19 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba

End 3Q: Jazz 101, Wolves 90. Same story — lots of offense, iffy defense. Don 21p, 7a. Bogey 18p, 4-5 on 3s. Rudy 15/13/2. 25 assists on 37 buckets. But Minny is shooting 14-30 from deep. – 10:49 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Jazz up 101-90 after 3Q. Whiteside has really, really struggled defensively this game — he’s in no man’s land where he’s not impacting the pass, nor dropping into coverage. – 10:48 PM Minnesota Timberwolves PR @Twolves_PR
At the end of three, the @Minnesota Timberwolves trail 101-90.
Russell is up to 16 points, 7 rebounds and a season-high-tying 12 assists.
Beasley leads the way in scoring with his second straight 20+ point game (4th of the season/33rd career) with 23 points. – 10:47 PM Minnesota Timberwolves @Timberwolves

The @Minnesota Timberwolves have cut the deficit to 86-79 with 4:46 left in the third.
Russell has tallied his second straight double-double (4th of the season and 33rd career) with 14 points and 11 assists. He’s added 7 rebounds, nearing his second career triple-double. – 10:38 PM Eric Walden @tribjazz
Jazz led by 15 for a minute. They keep allowing open 3s, though, and the Wolves have gotten back within 86-79. Minnesota is now 14-28 from deep. 4:46 left 3Q. – 10:38 PM Minnesota Timberwolves @Timberwolves

A problem with the Timberwolves frontcourt is that KAT, Naz and Knight might all be power forwards, and Vando might be a center — and they all have to not play that position for this team. – 10:35 PM Utah Jazz @utahjazz

Jazz open 3Q on an 11-4 run to extend out to a 78-64 lead with 8:26 left in the period. That Don-to-Rudy oop was fun. – 10:29 PM Minnesota Timberwolves @Timberwolves

Bogdanovic with nine in the early moments of the third quarter. The Jazz lead Minnesota 78-64 – 10:28 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Subtle and will never show up in the stats.
Gobert contests mcdaniels and runs the floor. His gravity draws the defender on 5-4. That opens the skip from bogdanovic to O’Neale. That opens O’Neale attacking the close. He skips to Bogdanovic for 3.
All starts with rudy running – 10:26 PM The Ringer @ringernba

Halftime: Jazz 67, Wolves 60. Utah with some fantastic offense despite going only 6-19 from 3. Some less than stellar defense, though, as Minny shoots 46.9% overall and 9-22 from 3. Don has 16p; Beasley leads the Wolves with 16. – 10:13 PM Utah Jazz @utahjazz

One of the weirdest things about the Wolves is their matchups against the Jazz have all been interesting lately

– Got blown out by the Jazz two weeks ago, but talked a ton of shit postgame

Jazz up 35-27 after 1Q. The Conley basket I think was juuuust barely good, after watching the replay a couple of times. As you’d expect, the Gobert/Conley lineups against hardship scrubs has been excellent. – 9:39 PM Minnesota Timberwolves PR @Twolves_PR
At the end of the first, the @Minnesota Timberwolves trail 35-27.
Nowell leads the Wolves with 8 points in 4:29 of action off the bench.
Russell has grabbed 4 rebounds and dished out 2 assists. – 9:39 PM Eric Walden @tribjazz
End 1Q: Jazz 35, Wolves 27. We’ll see if that floater by Mike at the horn was out of his hand in time. If so, Jazz close on a 10-3 run. – 9:38 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
The Jazz lead the Wolves 35-27 at the end of the first quarter, pending Conley’s floater confirmation, which is going to be reviewed and will be close – 9:38 PM Utah Jazz @utahjazz

With 2:45 left in the first quarter, we’re tied at 22.

In his 13th start of the season, McDaniels has 6 points and 3 assists. – 9:31 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
2:45 remaining in the first quarter. The Jazz and the wolves are tied at 22-22 – 9:29 PM Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
