The Cavs are a very good team and this is going to be a big ask for a Jazz team that has a defensive rating of 124.7 (according to NBA.com) . That is worst in the league with the next worst team being the Houston Rockets who are trying to lose games. I just hurt my own feelings writing that sentence.
Perhaps the Jazz can overcome the defensive deficit with their offense? In the last 3 games their offensive rating has been 11th in the league. That’s above average but not good enough when you’re the worst defense in the NBA. Let’s see what happens!
