For most of the season, Quin Snyder has been peppered with questions regarding Utah’s offense.
While Utah’s head coach has graciously answered each question, the main constant throughout his replies was about the team’s defense. He’s preached that at some point, the shots will fall — but said that the better the Jazz play on defense, the better the offense would be.
That was the case Tuesday night.
Utah held Philadelphia to 37.7% shooting through three quarters en route to building a 31-point lead, eventually resulting in a massive 120-85 victory over the 76ers.
“I just thought the consistency, sustained effort really in transition as much as anything and being able to get to the next play,” Snyder said postgame of what went right.
