Just finished a game against Phoenix. I was Utah. Nash got hurt in the first quarter and was effectively ruled out for the rest of the game. Goran Dragic filled in for him and did a respectable job. In the 4th, PHO started jacking up 3's left and right. They ended the game 7 of 27 beyond the arc. I was 4 of 13. I figured that with such a large lead in the 4th, I'd try and complete all kinds of flashy and risky passes. That contributed to my 22 turnovers, compared to their 8. I was also fouled early and often, having gone to the free throw line 43 times, making 33 of my foul shots good for 76%. They were 14 or 16 from the charity stripe. The key to this Jazz victory was in the rebounding, where I was +11 (49 to 38). Having three guys with double doubles doesn't hurt either, I suppose.

PHO 21-30-29-23-103 (41/103, 39%)
UTA 31-29-30-25-115 (39/72, 54%)
