One way to answer questions about your team’s offensive abilities is to literally score 50 more points in your next game without your best offensive player. That’s exactly what the Jazz did on Sunday night after only scoring 83 against the Lakers on Friday.
I think it’s informative how they did it. It’s not that they just started making the shots they missed on Friday. In fact, the Jazz still shot just 33 percent from 3-point range and 75 percent from the free-throw line. About average, in other words.
No, the Jazz did it by getting to the rim over and over again.
