Loss 97-119 at San Antonio Spurs Recap: Jazz-Spurs Recap: The Spurs Ran Off Our 62 Misses, Not Wembanyama
Next 7 days1-6
The Pelicans lead the NBA in steals, and Zion Williamson has 19 of their 90. Why Darryn Peterson should bring it up for the Jazz in New Orleans, and our pick.
Spurs 119, Jazz 97. We held Wembanyama to 12 and had a season-low 11 turnovers, then missed 62 shots, and San Antonio ran off them for 26 fast-break points.
Victor Wembanyama went 7-of-8 at the rim Wednesday, four on lobs, all with Jaxson Hayes on the floor. In San Antonio, that has to change. Our pick.
Blazers 112, Jazz 90. Fans blamed Will Hardy's lineups. Portland shot 41 free throws and scored 20 off our 19 turnovers, and Hardy says the fouls are on us.
Darryn Peterson sat the last 2:06 and all of overtime in the Spurs loss. Against Portland's No. 3 scoring offense, Hardy should close with him. Our pick.
Spurs 117, Jazz 111 in OT. Hardy cut the bench-only minutes and broke even in them. Then he closed without Darryn Peterson, and overtime went 12-6.
