The Utah Jazz gave Ben Simmons a soft landing as he returned from injury, losing 114-147 to the Brooklyn Nets.
Simmons came off the bench for the Nets and provided a big defensive boost to the bench, but the Nets didn’t need him all that much as they torched the Jazz all night from three, and in defensive intensity. Brooklyn was 21-45 from three for the game, which is a blistering 46.7%. All night the Nets were knocking down threes, but it wasn’t just that, Utah turned the ball over 17 times. But that number doesn’t do justice to how chaotic the Jazz were offensively.
