The Triple Team: The Jazz won against the Pacers, another team in the 'tank race.' After the trade they made last week, are wins still good for this team, or is it better in the long run if they lose? TakeNote
Utah Jazz guard Collin Sexton shoots in front of Indiana Pacers guard Bennedict Mathurin during the second half of an NBA basketball game in Indianapolis, Monday, Feb. 13, 2023. The Jazz defeated the Pacers 123-117. Three thoughts on the Utah Jazz’s 123-117 win over the Indiana Pacers from Salt Lake Tribune beat writer Andy Larsen.This was a game you probably had circled if you were watching the standings — the bottom-half of the standings, that is.
Did tonight’s performance help support winning later? To some extent, it did. Collin Sexton played a lot, and looked good. Talen Horton-Tucker was the team’s backup point guard, and added seven assists. Ochai Agbaji had some great moments, and some rough ones too. Perhaps next year, the team will be aided by the experience those players gained in this game.
Now, to be sure, the Jazz are not in an awful spot as a franchise whether they win or lose against the Pacers on a Monday night. They still have a good coach, a young star in Lauri Markkanen, and 15 future first-round draft picks. They’re going to be just fine, regardless. Collin Sexton is also incredibly fast, certainly one of the fastest players in the league and definitely the fastest player on the Jazz. As Pacers commentator Quinn Buckner noted here, “Ooooh! Sexton is unbelievably quick.”
This is effective because Sexton’s teammates got in position up the court as well. And that’s a key to this working: if Sexton’s all alone up there, he’s more likely to find himself in tough situations without an outlet. After the game, Hardy said he asked the Jazz to stretch, because he wanted them to run with Sexton, not lag so far behind him.
