If you’ve read the Triple Team for a while, you know that the Jazz, if they have problems offensively, usually have them against drop-big defenses. That’s when, in pick and roll, teams stay home on perimeter shooters and force the team to attack a big in the paint or take mid-range shots.
The Kings do not do that. As Luke Walton told us before the game, the Kings want to play “5-man defense," where they’re constantly rotating and helping each other to prevent easy stuff at the rim.
Here’s the thing: the Jazz under Snyder’s system are way too good at finding the open man in these situations.
