Utah Jazz stayed competitive in a road game in Atlanta against the Hawks. Jazz roster all shot the ball well and it was particularly hot shooting for both Keyonte George and Collin Sexton of the Utah Jazz. The two Jazz guards combined to score 62 points on 19-35 shooting from the field.

Atlanta ultimately won the game by shooting 57% from the field but for the Utah Jazz, this late in the season, with the NBA's worst record, keeping the game this competitive throughout is a big plus for the team.

Collin Sexton sizzled against the Indiana Pacers in Indianapolis Friday night. Sexton scored 27 points on 8-14 from the field and also recorded 3 assists and only 1 turnover. Collin played a great game and showed his ability to score from multiple levels.

Indiana Pacers pulled away in the fourth quarter and won the game handily but this was a very competitive game through three quarters with the Jazz leading most of the way. Indiana blocked 17 Utah Jazz shot attempts which is an absolutely huge number of blocked shots.

With a Washington Wizards win tonight, the Utah Jazz franchise now has the number one NBA lottery position with five games remaining. If the Jazz lose out, they will end the season with fewer wins than any other team and head into the lottery with the number one position. This has been a long year and the Jazz really needs some good fortune at this point and the ping pong balls need to bounce in a positive direction for the franchise. The team has done what it needs to do to put itself in the best position possible with only five games remaining in the season. Just need to close it out and hope for the best.

Utah Jazz go to Charlotte and play a competitive game against the Hornets. Brice Sensabaugh has been shooting the ball really well from the three point line recently. Over his past 10 games, Brice has made 60% of his three point attempts. That is a terrific number by the second year Utah Jazz player.

Charlotte did win this competitively played games but the score was reasonably close throughout the game. Final score Charlotte Hornets 110 and Utah Jazz 106.

Utah Jazz played in Salt Lake City against the Memphis Grizzlies and came out shooting the ball extremely well from the three point line to start the game. With the hot shooting start, Jazz built a comfortable lead in the first quarter. Game was close at half-time with the Jazz up by one. But the second half was a different story and the game ended with the Jazz falling by 37. Final score 140 -103.

Utah Jazz played a rare Sunday home game in front of fans at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Utah Jazz rookie forward Kyle Filipowski played an outstanding game with 18 points and 13 rebounds.

Utah Jazz ultimately fell to the Cleveland Cavaliers but this game was more about the inexperienced roster of the Jazz getting playing time than it was about winning the game. Jazz focus this season is not on winning basketball games but rather developing its young talent and positioning the franchise for a high lottery pick in the 2025 NBA draft.

Cavs on the other hand are hoping for a strong postseason run at a title and this was a game the Cavs were always going to win.

Utah Jazz played at home in the Delta Center Friday night against the Boston Celtics and Collin Sexton had one of his best games in a Jazz uniform. Collin went 12-16 from the field and scored 30 points.

This was another development game for the Jazz youth and Boston ended up winning the game easily as the Jazz are really playing for both development and NBA lottery positioning. So winning games isn't currently the priority for this young Utah Jazz franchise. Boson on the other hand is still playing for post season positioning and hoping for another title run.

Celtics ended up winning the game 121-99.

Utah Jazz youth was on full display in the win tonight over the Washington Wizards at home in the Delta Center. Fans in Salt Lake saw the team get a rare win in this late season game. Utah Jazz and Washington Wizards are battling each other for the top NBA lottery position. With this win, Washington takes over the worst record in the NBA and therefore, currently has the best lottery odds of any team.

Kyle Filipowski was the Utah Jazz high scorer this evening with 21 points but a total of 6 Utah Jazz players scored in double figures. Keyonte George added 20, Collin Sexton 18, Isaiah Collier 16, Brice Sensabaugh 17, and Jordan Clarkson 14.

For the Washington Wizards, Colby Jones led the way with 24 points and Alex Sarr added 22.

Utah Jazz now has 12 games remaining in the season.

Utah Jazz played another game where development of the youth was the priority over everything else. Jazz are clearly in tank mode and playing for the draft lottery rather than winning games. Chicago Bulls franchise is still hoping to make the play-in in the Eastern Conference so they very much wanted to get the win in the Delta Center in front of Jazz fans. Keyonte George led the Jazz with 16 points as the minutes for Jazz players were reasonably evenly distributed among the roster of players.

Anthony Edwards dunked hard on the Jazz in the first quarter of Sunday's Utah Jazz at Minnesota Timberwolves NBA basketball game. The hot Minnesota T-Wolves stayed hot and easily handled the Utah Jazz. Jazz played with most of their primary players but that had little impact on the ultimate outcome. Utah Jazz starters were outscored by big numbers and the game was never really close.

Collin Sexton had a bounce back game for the Jazz and let the team with 22 points on 9-18 shooting from the field. It was great to see Collin with a nice redemption game after the last outing where things didn't go his way at all.

Final score, Minnesota Timberwolves 128, Utah Jazz 102.
