Jazz record 25th loss of home

With the defeat on Friday, jazz at home can no longer end better than 16-25, which would combine the squad 2013-14 for very few victories in Utah in franchise history.

In its current pace of 0.242, jazz will end with less than 10 wins in Salt Lake City, which would blow their previous record from the water.

One of the main reasons why the organization had difficulties in its entire history to land a highest level is the traditionally strong jazz plate at home.

This season, the team will only end the fifth time with less than 20 wins at home and only the third time since 1983.

The jazz hung uncertainly with the NBA design of the third pick in 2005, after winning only 18 games at home, and ended in 2014 with the fifth selection after winning 16 games in Salt Lake City.

With its last defeat, jazz has the second worst record of the league.

In cooperation with Charlotte's victory in San Antonio on Friday, the jazz is 2.0 games from the Hornets who have third place in the league, and only percentage points in front of the league that are in Washington Wizards in Washington.

Kessler DNP-CD, Markkanen sits the second half

Walker Kessler was between jazz and the raptors in uniform for the Matchup on Friday, but did not take the court against Toronto.

Similarly, Lauri Markkanen played almost 19 minutes in the first half, but did not see the floor in the second.

While jazz continues to tinker with rotations in the late season and cut out additional time for newcomers and at the same time maximized her lottery chances, Kessler was essentially a healthy scratch without showing up the injury report, as was Markkanen for the last 24 minutes of the game.

The decision follows the NBA, which punishes the jazz $ 100,000 for the sitting of Markkanen for nine games in a row between February 24th and March 10th due to backpasms.

No Lauri Markkanen in the starting line -up to start the second half.

That could explain his aggression in the first half.

Keyonte George and John Collins were the only other important rotary players who miss the game on Friday.

George missed the last three games with a foot injury, while Collins suffered a sprain on Wednesday when defeating the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday.

Without several keys that play, Jazz trainer wants to become creative with his rotations.

“You have to go on like a scientist,” said Hardy. “You have a question:” Hey, will that work? Or will they be able to act and put it out there – see what happens and they adapt from there. “

With 15 games this season and Collins for at least the next two weeks, Hardy should have many ways to experiment.
