Sixers up 32-27. Pretty simple: when the Jazz’s centers haven’t been trying to win one-on-one postup ball like its 1994, the Jazz have been just fine – 7:36 PM

End 1Q: Sixers 32, Jazz 27. Pretty sloppy opening 12 minutes for Utah: Too many turnovers, not enough transition defense, several outright selfish possessions. – 7:36 PM

The Jazz trail the Sixers 32-27 at the end of the first quarter. Not a great close at all. The Jazz have been a step slow for much of this one so far – 7:36 PM

This has been a heck of a fun first quarter of basketball. #Sixers #Jazz
(Btw – Still picking my jaw up from the ground after a 7-footer ran the entire damn floor past every Jazz player & threw it down for the one-handed slam). – 7:33 PM

Lots of shots going thru the hoop early — Sixers 8-11, Jazz 6-9. Embiid 7p for Philly, as Rudy’s mostly been content to let him shoot long jumpers, and he’s mostly hit. Don leads the Jazz with 6p. Sixers up 19-17 with 6:26 left 1Q. – 7:21 PM

An offensive showing so far, with the Sixers holding a 19-17 lead over the just with 6:26 still left in the first quarter. Embiid (7) and Curry (5) combined to score the first 12 points for the Sixers, with Harris and Maxey picking it up after that. – 7:20 PM

Quin Snyder said that regardless of how productive the Jazz offense is right now, the focus for optimizing the attack remains the same: good spacing, making quick decisions, and limiting turnovers to lessen the need for transition defense. – 5:47 PM

Quin Snyder, on the Wolves’ criticism of Rudy Gobert: “Everybody’s entitled to their views and opinions. From my standpoint, every team’s game plan is based on how to attack Rudy. Or how not to attack Rudy. … Sometimes we’re having to find ways to get him involved defensively.” – 5:42 PM

The Utah Jazz are legit and they’re not even knocking down their threes like they were last season (they might be better).
All but one of their 17 wins this season have been by six or more.
Since the beginning of Nov (9-2) six of their nine wins have been by at least 16 points – 4:15 PM
