“I should have gotten thrown out, that play was gross.”

Hardy said that the Jazz executed the foul and the shot for JC exactly the way he wanted. Wanted the ball out of Simons’ hands, felt like 6.4 seconds left was plenty. On the strip, said Portland did a good job taking away Markkanen, then made a good play on the ball. – 11:37 PM

That over and back on Markkanen is another growth moment for Collin Sexton. If you’re the point guard and your big is in trouble like that, you RUN and you get the basketball out of his hands. – 11:33 PM

Trail Blazers won tonight in Utah by five, led by a career-high 45 points from Anfernee Simons.
All while the Pacers were in their Portland hotel beds.
That’ll help the Pacers after playing four games in six days. But Damian Lillard is also expected to return from injury. – 11:31 PM

FINAL: Blazers 116, Jazz 111. Utah had chances down the stretch, but couldn’t get a needed bucket at the right time. Two-game winning streak snapped. Clarkson 24p, Markkanen 21. Simons 45 for Portland. Up next: Warriors here on 12/7. – 11:27 PM

The Jazz fall to Portland 116-111 in a game where they consistently played uphill. Utah had its chances but late game execution became an issue tonight. The Jazz fall to 14-12 on the season. Utah gets three days off before golden state on Wednesday night – 11:27 PM

Jazz lose to Blazers 116-111.
Simons had 45 points, but only 2 in the 4Q. Jazz had a lot of open shots in the late 3rd/early 4th, but missed them. Late game, though, Blazers defense did get stops.
A three day break before the Jazz’s next game on Wednesday. – 11:26 PM

A really unceremonious end to this one, JC has the ball stripped, kicks it, Portland ball…foul, free throws, the end. Blazers win 116-111. – 11:25 PM

Clarkson gets stripped on the 3PA, then fouls out. He’s got a word to say for the official on his way out.
Looks like Jazz will lose this one, unless Grant misses both. – 11:24 PM

JC has the ball stripped as he goes up for the shot, then he kicks it. He fouls out on the ensuing play as Portland gets possession. One FTM and that’ll do it. – 11:24 PM

Utah inbounds, ball gets loose, Clarkson kicks it, is called for a violation, Blazers inbound, get it to Grant, Clarkson fouls with 1.6 seconds to play and that will just about do it. – 11:24 PM

Will Hardy called for a foul for about 10 seconds before they finally did it.
Exact same mistake they made that cost them the game in Phoenix.
Jazz probably should have had at least two opportunities to score/foul and play the free-throw game.
Now it’s down to one. – 11:24 PM

I’ll be curious what L2M says on the Nurkic defense on the Markkanen turnover… IMO it’s an armbar that impedes his RSBQ, but oh well.
Jazz down 3, 6.4 left, timeout gives them the ball on the right side at half court. – 11:23 PM

On the inbound Markkanen dribbles the ball out of bounds, Jazz wanted a foul there. Clarkson fouls Grant on a shot. Grant makes both, Jazz need a 3 to tie. Timeout Jazz. 6.4 seconds left – 11:22 PM

With the lead, and Olynyk down on the ground, and only 36 seconds left to play, the Jazz should have used a timeout.
Bad turnover instead gives Portland life.

Simons has 33 in the first half against the Jazz. We’ll see what adjustments they make. But in the meantime, here is a list of all the players who have scored 50+ against the Jazz in a regular season game. pic.twitter.com/MUCzTJQrqI – 10:10 PM

HALFTIME: Blazers 69, Jazz 60. Simons went off — 33p on 12-17/7-11. Portland 56.5% FGs, 9-20 from 3. Utah looks lethargic, but stays in it thanks to going 18-23 FTs. Markkanen 13p, Vando/Sexton 11 each. – 10:09 PM

The Jazz trail Portland 69-60 at halftime…..they probably should be down by 15 but a nice close to the half salvaged it a bit. Simons has 33….he put on a show in the first half – 10:09 PM

Common foul on Nurk. He was spared the flagrant.
Now to be clear, Nurk was the second act. Sexton grabbed Nurk’s jersey but that was missed. Refs always catch the second one – 10:07 PM

Nurk gives Sexton a minor shove in the back. Sexton goes flying. He asks for a review. Tony Brothers reviews for a hostile act. Finds a loose-ball foul, and a bit of acting. 2 FTs for Sexton, but that’s it. – 10:07 PM

End 1Q: Blazers 40, Jazz 31. Utah’s 5 TOs contributed to Portland getting 8 more FGAs, and considering the Blazers made 57.7% of their shots and 6-13 from 3, that’s a bad thing. Simons had a ridiculous 23p on 8-10 FGs. – 9:35 PM
