If practice makes perfect, as the saying goes, what does the lack of practice make?
Things have certainly been short of perfect for the Jazz in recent weeks. They went 1-4 on a five-game road trip, the longest of the season, before heading back home for some losses (Lakers, Thunder) and some sketchy wins against poor opposition (Grizzlies, Timberwolves, Warriors).
In the hectic stretch, they’ve rarely had the chance to go all out with a full practice. With only one day off between games, frequently the team will do a “pro day” where players come in for individual or small group work.
