Congrats to @SLCo_Council, which has decided to sell the race track at Salt Lake equestrian park to Utah State University. You might have just killed horse racing in northern Utah. You have certainly disrupted the lives of hundreds of people and animals. – 1:32 AM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
The Triple Team! 3 thoughts on
1. It wasn’t brilliant. But was the switching defense… somewhat… acceptable? Decent, even? It’s progress!
2. Can Paschall be in the healthy rotation?
3. Joe Ingles, and channelling energy into the right parts of games

Donovan Mitchell on the @Cleveland Cavaliers Darius Garland.
“Gotta give credit where credit is due and Darius Garland deserves to be in the all star game.”
Garland had his first career triple-double tonight and a career-high 15 assists.
Jazz had 11 assists as a team. – 11:37 PM Eric Walden @tribjazz
Donovan Mitchell, on one of his Cavs backcourt counterparts: “Darius Garland should be in the All-Star Game. Even not shooting the ball well , you saw the impact he had. What he’s doing is next-level.” – 11:37 PM Eric Walden @tribjazz
Donovan Mitchell: “Today was just weird as hell, if I’m being honest.” Both he and Quin noted just how differently the Jazz operated without having any legit centers out there to set screens. – 11:35 PM Utah Jazz @utahjazz

Big W in Utah! #LetEmKnow – 11:15 PM Eric Walden @tribjazz
FINAL: Cavs 111, Jazz 91. Four straight losses, 28-14, no real surprise given who was(n’t) available. 22p for JC. 17/5r/4a for Don. 18p/7r for EP. 12p for Mike. Tiny lil’ Jazz outrebounded 50-32, and outscored 60-32 in the paint. 23p for Lamar Stevens, 11/10/15 for Garland. – 11:14 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Cavs beat Jazz 111-91.
Clarkson led the Jazz with 22 points. Eric Paschall had 18, Donovan Mitchell had 17. Lamar Stevens led all scorers with 23.
4-game losing streak without Rudy Gobert.
A well-timed 3-day break up next. How many Jazz players can get healthy? – 11:14 PM Kelsey Russo @kelseyyrusso
This was a solid win for the #Cavs in how to play with a big lead heading into the 4th and keep it that way. An important learning experience. Cavs beat Jazz 111-91.
Lamar Stevens with a career-high 23 pts. Darius Garland’s triple-double: 11 pts, 15 assists and 10 boards. – 11:13 PM Zach Kram @zachkram
For folks who doubt Rudy Gobert’s value:
Utah with Gobert: 27-10, 106 points allowed per game
Utah without Gobert: 1-4, 119 points allowed per game – 11:13 PM StatMuse @statmuse
Jazz this season:
27-10 with Rudy Gobert

We all knew the Jazz were going to get hit with Covid, and likely all at the same time. Every team is going through this. Does it suck in the interim? Sure. All you can do is fight through and get guys healthy. The key is gonna be how Utah plays when healthy against a tough sked – 10:51 PM Utah Jazz @utahjazz

Jazz down 88-68 after 3Q. It’s been interesting how little the Jazz’s *offense* has worked tonight… just a 97 ORtg through 3 quarters. They really rely on their centers for vertical gravity. – 10:49 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
The Jazz trail the Cavaliers 88-68 heading into the fourth quarter – 10:49 PM Eric Walden @tribjazz
End 3Q: Cavs 88, Jazz 68. That 21-0 run pretty much settled things. – 10:49 PM Cleveland Cavaliers @cavs

Jazz have needed more from Don and Bogey … and they’re a combined 20p on 7-for-26 shooting. – 10:45 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Just not gonna win a lot of games where Eric Paschall is unquestionably your best player. – 10:45 PM Kelsey Russo @kelseyyrusso

Lamar Stevens has scored all 13 of the Cavs points in the 2H. Lamar Stevens! He averaged 4.5 points per game. – 10:31 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
I love all of my Roman Catholic brothers, but the Jazz should not be allowing Lamar Stevens to score 13 third quarter points…….

24 points on 9-13 for David Roddy in Colorado State’s win over Utah State. One of nation’s most efficient half-court scorers (1.2 PPP, 96th percentile). Suddenly a 42% 3PT shooter. This season he’s scored at least 30 points off: Postups, spot-ups, transition, iso, cuts, rolls. – 10:13 PM Utah Jazz @utahjazz

@socios | #LetEmKnow – 10:09 PM Kelsey Russo @kelseyyrusso
#Cavs Lauri Markkanen has found a rhythm on the offensive end here in the first half. He leads the Cavs with 12 points. He’s 5-of-8 from the field and 2-of-3 from 3.
Still don’t know where he came from to grab that offensive rebound and then dunk.
Cavs lead 58-52 at the half. – 10:09 PM Eric Walden @tribjazz
HALFTIME: Cavs 58, Jazz 52. The Eric Paschall Game! Despite not getting the start, he’s got 16p on 7-7 FGs, 2-2 from 3. Jazz have been competitive despite shooting 7-20 from 3. Yes, Cleveland has 32 PITP, but Utah has 26. Markkanen 12p and 6r to lead the Cavs. – 10:09 PM Ryan Miller @millerjryan
Cleveland leads 58-52 at the half. Paschall is 7 of 7 with 16 points to lead all scorers. Donovan Mitchell has 11 and Jordan Clarkson has 10. – 10:09 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Cavs up 58-52 on the Jazz at the half.
Again, I’m mostly impressed. Jazz aren’t getting killed without any centers. Eric Paschall has been absolutely terrific: he has 16 points on 7-7 FG. – 10:09 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
The Jazz trail the Cavaliers 58-52 at halftime. Paschall has 14…he’s been tremendous….. – 10:08 PM Ben Anderson @BensHoops
So to clarify Malik Fitts wrist injury, the right wrist was the wrong wrist, if that makes sense. – 10:07 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Technical foul I believe on Bojan Bogdanovic – 10:07 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen

Jazz down to eight available players. – 9:56 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
The Jazz are down to 9 available players – 9:54 PM Sarah Todd @NBASarah
Fans are clapping for Ingles. But he was one of the Jazz’s longest guys they had available tonight and he’s gone before the midway point of the second quarter. Jazz down to 9 players. – 9:53 PM Ryan Miller @millerjryan
Refs miss Bojan’s wrist getting grabbed. Jazz complain. Joe Ingles get T’d up again and tossed. – 9:52 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
6:24 remaining in the first half. The Jazz trail Cleveland 47-36 – 9:50 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
This has been an extremely poorly officiated game. Joe Ingles just got tossed. – 9:50 PM Kyle Neubeck @KyleNeubeck
Tobias Harris said he’s been dealing shoulder pain since he got hit in a game vs. Utah. Said it’s “irritating pain” more than anything but that it’s been aggravated/re-aggravated frequently – 9:49 PM Noah Levick @NoahLevick
Tobias Harris said he’s been dealing with his right shoulder pain since the Sixers played in Utah. He said he’s aggravated it multiple times.
Harris said he can play through it, but “when the time is right, I’ll probably look into some things.” – 9:49 PM Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
Tobias Harris said his shoulder injury started while the team was on the road against the Utah Jazz. He added that the pain is OK to play through, but when the time calls for it, he’ll take care of it. #Sixers – 9:47 PM Cleveland Cavaliers @cavs

End 1Q: Cavs 27, Jazz 24. An 11-0 run near the end got Utah back in it. Counterintuitively, 18 of the Jazz’s points came in the paint. Only outrebounded 12-8. There’s not been much ball movement, though — 1 assist on 11 baskets. Cavs’ trio of 7-footers combined for 17p, 7r. – 9:39 PM Kelsey Russo @kelseyyrusso
At the end of the first quarter, #Cavs have a 27-24 lead over the Jazz. Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley lead the Cavs with 6 points each.
Cavs are shooting 9-of-17 (52.9 %) from the field and 1 of-6 (16.7 %) from 3. – 9:39 PM Ryan Miller @millerjryan
Cavs lead 27-24 after the first quarter.
Utah is just 2 of 9 from 3-point range, but has really found some success playing downhill against the taller Cavs. The Jazz are 9/13 in the paint. – 9:38 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Jazz down 27-24 after 1Q. Honestly, I’m impressed with the Jazz’s defense so far! Their cohesion in switching has been good, they’ve only given up 1 Cleveland OReb, and the help has been there. – 9:38 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
End of one quarter. The Jazz trail Cleveland 27-24 – 9:38 PM Ryan Miller @millerjryan

But, their last five baskets have all come within eight feet of the hoop. – 9:31 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba

Joe Ingles said he wishes a day with Jordan Clarkson could be auctioned off. But what would that be like? According to JC, even odds on getting “Vegas JC” or “monk” JC, where he’s literally silent for days at a time. That and more JC uniqueness here: sltrib.com/sports/jazz/20… – 8:06 PM Joe Gabriele @CavsJoeG

Utah Jazz’s available players tonight: Donovan Mitchell, Mike Conley, Royce O’Neale, Bojan Bogdanovic, Eric Paschall, Jordan Clarkson, Joe Ingles, Trent Forrest, Denzel Valentine, Zylan Cheatham. – 7:41 PM Sarah Todd @NBASarah
By my count the Jazz have 10 players available tonight including freshly signed 10-day Zylan Cheatham. No centers. – 7:26 PM Eric Walden @tribjazz

The Cavs start three 7-footers. The Utah Jazz are currently without Rudy Gobert, Hassan Whiteside, Udoka Azubuike, and Rudy Gay. And Norvel Pelle is questionable with a “non-COVID illness.” Should be, um, interesting tonight. – 5:05 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen

Almost every Utah Jazz player asked about Jordan Clarkson used a variation on the theme “unique vibe.” JC eventually agreed: “They’re very blessed to come to my planet sometimes.” In a Tribune exclusive, the man himself explains his singular personality. sltrib.com/sports/jazz/20… – 4:32 PM Josh Newman @Joshua_Newman
