Joe Ingles says Jazz want to set physical tone against Thunder: ‘We’re not gonna walk in there and get punked.’

In the many ways playoff basketball differs from the regular season, here’s one that will show up right away: Joe Ingles predicts he or one of his teammates will get a foul early. Very early.

That, said Ingles, is a key part of setting a playoff series tone when the Jazz tip off Sunday afternoon against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

“You want to see how aggressive you can be,” he said Friday afternoon after practice. “You want to be the more aggressive team. We’re happy to pick up an early foul to kind of set a tone of where that level is.
