Remember how this game was a “Schedule Alert” game for the Raptors? Well, it certainly didn’t look like it.
The Jazz just got absolutely blasted by a Raptors team playing on a back-to-back, without their star Kawhi Leonard. Yeah, the Jazz didn’t have Donovan Mitchell, and that would be a good excuse if they played well defensively, but not offensively.
That’s not what happened. The Jazz were a trainwreck on the defensive end, especially in transition. The Raptors were supposed to be tired, and instead they just ran right past the Jazz: 20 percent of their offensive possessions were classified as transition, and they scored 183 points per 100 possessions on those plays.
