Oklahoma City Thunder - Utah Jazz

Popovich just laughed at the OKC in the previous game and rested all his leaders just to lose by 3points and stop OKC to 90points. System is clearly working and Utah has a very similar system. It's strange to me how Donovan hasn't changed anything from the beggining while they are clearly struggling against every time they play. They are showing league's top5 defense, but 10w12l is not a good start with 3 all-star players. On the other end we have a very hot Utah team who just blew Wizards by 47 points... Yeah thats right by 47 points allowing them to score just 69. Every player contributes on this team and yesterday's minutes were equally divided, so b2b is not too concerning. Usually most of the teams are using spot-ups plays against OKC, it's basically a catch and shoot strategy which clearly works and Utah are becoming one of top teams in this category with 56.7% EFG. I'm not a big fan to take these small away handicaps, but at a low scoring game like this 7 points margin is a good deal
