What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Eric Walden @tribjazz Joe Ingles’ knee injury left the Utah Jazz shaken in the midst of what would become the team’s fifth straight loss: “That took a lot out of guys, seeing him, tears in his eyes,” Mike Conley said. “You know how much this means to him.” sltrib.com/sports/jazz/20… – 12:08 AM

Sarah Todd @NBASarah I asked Rudy Gay if it feels like they just can’t catch a break right now. “That’s exactly what it feels like. But only the strong survive.” – 11:12 PM

Eric Walden @tribjazz Rudy Gay, on Joe Ingles: “It’s not even about the basketball; just having him in the locker room is good for us. He’s our guy.” – 11:11 PM

Eric Walden @tribjazz Bojan Bogdanovic: “It was pretty bad to see (Joe) in pain. I hope it’s not as bad as it looks right now.” – 10:58 PM

Ryan Miller @millerjryan Mike Conley said the Jazz tracked down Ingles during halftime: “We found him in the X-ray room. He was in a tough state and just everybody came in there and told him we loved him, gave him a hug and told him we are going keep fighting.” – 10:38 PM

Eric Walden @tribjazz Mike Conley noted it’s hard to keep your composure as a team in the immediate aftermath of an injury like that. He noted that at Joe’s age, it’s a potentially difficult injury to have to deal with, but he said he had no doubt Joe would “come back stronger.” – 10:36 PM

Sarah Todd @NBASarah Jazz players saw Joe Ingles at halftime and Mike Conley said he was “in a bad state, but we told him we loved him.” – 10:33 PM

Eric Walden @tribjazz Mike Conley: “Seeing Joe, that took a lot out of guys. Tears in his eyes. We know how much it means to him.” – 10:33 PM

Ryan Miller @millerjryan Mike Conley: “Obviously the loss hurts a lot but Joe — that took a lot out of guys. Seeing him with tears in his eyes… that’s tough.” – 10:32 PM

Serena Winters @SerenaWinters 16 year vet, Rajon Rondo had some advice for a mostly silent Cavs lockerroom (which Jarrett Allen shared):
“You can’t get too high & you can’t get too low…we got a little high beating the defending champs. Tonight we got a wake up call & dropped down to earth a little bit.” – 10:29 PM

Eric Walden @tribjazz FINAL: Wolves 126, Jazz 106. Five straight losses, and 11 in 13. Finished January 4-12. Bad goes to worse with Joe Ingles’ knee injury and Quin Snyder’s positive COVID test. Bogdanovic 23p, 4r. Conley 22p, 5a. Clarkson 17p, 5a. Utah now 30-21. Next up: Nuggets at the Viv on Wed. – 10:20 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm FINAL: Nuggets 136, Bucks 100
– Antetokounmpo 29pts/9reb/2ast
– Holiday 14pts/5reb/8ast
– Middleton 9pts/5reb/7ast – 9:11 PM

Andy Larsen @andyblarsen Wolves up 52-48 on the Jazz at the half.
Bogdanovic and Conley trying to carry Utah; Ingles’ knee injury hugely significant for the team moving forward. – 9:07 PM

Sarah Todd @NBASarah If Hassan would set a screen that actually gives Conley some space and separation from the defender it would be really good – 8:44 PM

Sarah Todd @NBASarah Mike Conley has had two pretty egregious turnovers in this game and I can’t get over how good he is. Like…that’s how good Mike Conley is. – 8:39 PM

Eric Walden @tribjazz End 1Q: Wolves 26, Jazz 20. Utah goes 8-21, 2-11. Struggled offensively in general, but really struggled in the Butler minutes. Mike Conley has 12p on 5-6 FGs. Some nice hustle plays from Elijah Hughes late. – 8:36 PM

Andy Larsen @andyblarsen Jazz down 26-20 after 1Q. That last Hughes bucket was the only points by the bench. Conley is doing it all by himself at the moment, he has 12. – 8:36 PM

Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski Khris Middleton 1-for-4 in the first half, 2 points. Bobby Portis 2-for-6, 4 points. Getting one/both of them going will be important in the second half for the #Bucks – 8:21 PM

Eric Walden @tribjazz 6-0 lead for the Jazz, including 4p from Mike Conley, who’s bounced back nicely from being washed after going scoreless 1H vs. Memphis. Timeout Wolves, who are shooting 0-6. – 8:15 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm Bobby Portis opens scoring in tonight’s game with a floater on the short roll from Khris Middleton. – 7:11 PM

Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba Mike Conley, Joe Ingles, Hassan Whiteside, Bojan Bogdanovic and Royce O’Neale starting tonight
Jared Butler will be in the rotation tonight, per Alex Jensen – 6:34 PM

Mike McGraw @McGrawDHSports Big question in this game is which player will get to 30 first — McCollum or Norman Powell? #Bulls defense showing no improvement so far, but they’re only down 1 – 4:18 PM

Mirjam Swanson @MirjamSwanson Marcus Morris Sr. says the Clippers did a great job allowing him to get away and clear his head. Says he watched every game, I was tuned in — “the resilience of this team has been on display all season.” The 35-pt comeback, “one of the best games I’ve ever watched.” – 4:14 PM

Mike McGraw @McGrawDHSports Before the Caruso injury in MIL, #Bulls were giving up 11.3 3-ptrs per game. Since then, teams have hit 12, 16, 12, 16 and now Portland went 7 for 11 in the 1stQ.
Blazers lead 35-39, could have been lot worse. McCollum leads all scorers with 9 – 4:02 PM

Dave McMenamin @mcten Discouraging end to the trip here in ATL. The Lakers, who led by as many as 11, lose to the Hawks 129-121 and head back to L.A. with a 2-4 record in the six games, dropping the final three. Monk 33p 10r 5a; AD 27p 5r 2s; Russ 20p 12a 7r; Melo 11p; Stanley Johnson 10p – 3:24 PM

Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU Boston hit a middy out the timeout to give him 17, then next 5 possessions for both teams ended with defensive rebounds.
Commence garbage time: Clippers up 109-87 with 3:15 left. – 3:18 PM

Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU Justise Winslow is in his back-to-basket bag, Luke Kennard is polishing that invite reel for Cleveland, and Brandon Boston continues to dunk. Borrego decides it is dammit time, has already brought Melo back in, and now calls timeout with 9:20 left.
Clippers lead 93-78. – 2:58 PM

Sarah K. Spencer @sarah_k_spence Before that FT from Danilo Gallinari with 4.5 seconds left in the third after Carmelo Anthony’s tech, the Hawks hadn’t scored since the 3:20 mark.
Hawks enter the fourth quarter trailing the Lakers, 101-91. – 2:54 PM

Mike Trudell @LakersReporter The Hawks hadn’t scored since the 3:20 mark of the 3rd Q, with LAL’s bench going on a 9-0 run.
‘Melo got hit with a technical foul with 4.5 seconds left to stop the run, but LAL take a 101-91 lead out of the period thanks to that push.
LAL still at 61.5% FG’s for the game. – 2:53 PM

Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU 7-0 run in last minute of third quarter gives Clippers an 84-76 lead entering final quarter of play here in Charlotte.
Only spark Hornets had was during their 8-0 run and whenever Melo attacked. Otherwise, very sleepy performance by a Charlotte team that dropped 158 this week. – 2:52 PM

Mike Trudell @LakersReporter Lakers shooters at the half:
– Monk 7 for 8 (19 points)
– Davis 7 for 11 (18)
– Westbrook 5 for 6 (11)
– ‘Melo 4 for 5 (9)
– THT 4 for 4 (8)
– Bradley 2 for 4 (4)
– Howard 1 for 2 (2)
(Reaves and Bazemore both 0 for 1, Johnson 0 for 0) – 2:11 PM

Kevin Chouinard @KLChouinard Once upon a time, Gallinari was the centerpiece of the trade that brought Carmelo to NY.
Lots of them guarding each other at the moment. – 1:45 PM
