Utah Jazz fans confront a pivotal question: What is real after a standout performance against the Los Angeles Clippers? David Locke, radio voice and NBA insider, spotlights the Jazz’s collective energy, ball movement, and Will Hardy’s innovative offensive sets, as Lowry Markkanen, Walker Kessler, and Kyle Filipowski rack up 13 assists from the frontcourt. With early signs of togetherness and a distinctly different attacking style, could the Jazz surprise skeptics with rapid growth and a feisty start?

Key insights include how Sacramento Kings’ upcoming lineup and key injuries could tip the scales, tactical differences in off-ball action versus baseline cuts, and whether physical defensive pressure will disrupt Utah’s offensive rhythm. Locke’s analysis weighs preseason projections against potential momentum from a soft early schedule. Could the Jazz be a dark horse in the Western Conference if these trends hold?
