Watching Utah Jazz games post-All-Star break has been challenging, to say the least. The trend continued as they suffered a 142-121 beatdown from the defending champions Denver Nuggets. The biggest margin reached as high as 39 points in the first half, which would be insurmountable in making a comeback.
But something clicked in the third quarter, where the Jazz outscored the opposition 44-24 to bring some semblance of life to the game. Fellow rookie Keyonte George also balled out during that stretch with a barrage of pull-up jumpers and finished with 29 points. However, what intrigued me the most was the buckets and usage that Brice Sensabaugh had for that quarter.
