Featured Game | San Antonio Spurs vs. Utah Jazz
What you need to know about the Spurs
The Spurs and Magic were tied at halftime on Friday, at 61 points apiece, but Orlando pulled away in the second half for the 133-113 win. San Antonio’s loss came about despite a quality game from point guard Tre Jones, who had 16 points and eight assists. Keldon Johnson finished as the high-scorer for the Spurs with 17 points, but he shot just 5-for-14 from the floor.
Overall, the Spurs have been shooting relatively well as a team, at 49.3% over their last three games. They hit half of their shots from beyond the 3-point line against Houston on December 19 but have only hit 31.8% of them over the two games since. Meanwhile, their opponents in those games, the Pelicans and Magic, shot a combined 52.8% from the field and 45.5% from three.
What you need to know about the Jazz
The Jazz were able to grind out a solid win over the Washington Wizards last Thursday, 120-112. Much of Utah’s success was thanks to shooting guard Malik Beasley, who had 25 points, and Jordan Clarkson, who had 23 points in addition to seven boards. Beasley’s performance was his sixth 20-point game of the season, and he also finished with four steals.
When Utah is at its best, it is one of the better 3-point shooting teams in the league. This season, the Jazz have taken (39.8) and made (14.8) the fifth-most 3-pointers in the NBA. Center Kelly Olynyk has been one of the team’s top shooters from downtown (43%), but he’s due to miss his fourth straight game with an ankle injury.
