For whatever reason the Washington Wizards have some kind of kryptonite that they use when playing the Utah Jazz this season that turns the Jazz defense to mush. That’s not to say that the Jazz haven’t had other poor defensive performances this season but they haven’t looked like a top 5 defensive teams at any point while playing the Wizards this year. Credit the Wizards for bringing the intensity and focus to be able to pull off the upset against a Jazz team that has lost just 3 times at home this season.
For the Wizards, Russell Westbrook and Bradley Beal are dominant offensively.
