Utah Jazz vs Oklahoma City Thunder: Post Game Recap

The Utah Jazz didn’t stand much of a chance against the 22-1 Oklahoma City Thunder, falling 131-101 in a game where everything — and I mean everything — went sideways. Lauri Markkanen was out with an illness, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and several Thunder starters rested, and somehow it still felt like OKC was playing at full […]

Preview: Utah Jazz challenge the scraps of the OKC machine

Utah Jazz vs Brooklyn Nets: Recap and final score

The Utah Jazz were able to squeeze out a win against the Brooklyn Nets, a team trying to lose games on the back end of a back-to-back, 123-110. The end score is a little deceiving because the Jazz played from behind for most of this game, but went on a run late to pull away. […]

Jazz vs Nets player grades: Keyonte is literally glowing red-hot right now

With apologies to those dying to know Cody Williams’ grade for the night, I’m going to avoid writing a paragraph about players who appeared in fewer than 10 minutes tonight. Nothing personal to Cody and Taylor; they just didn’t leave an imprint in this game. I’m still sending a shoutout to Oscar Tshiebwe, though, the […]

Utah’s indecisive rebuild cost them a chance at Giannis Antetokounmpo

The NBA world is buzzing with the news that Giannis Antetokounmpo might be available for trade. You can bet that the Utah Jazz will call and ask about it. The problem is, they likely don’t have the assets to make it happen, nor enough players to make it worth it if they did. And it’s […]

Houston Rockets vs Utah Jazz: recap and final score

If there’s one thing that’s been consistent about the 2025-2026 Utah Jazz, it’s their inconsistent stretches of competent play. One could say that the Jazz are consistently inconsistent.

The Utah Jazz had a rough outing against the Houston Rockets, losing 129-101. Let’s look at how the team did. Svi Mykhailiuk | B Mykhailiuk was solid in this one overall.
