3rd Quarter Report

Down five at the end of the second quarter, the Jazz now have the lead. Sitting on a score of 88-82, they have looked like the better team, but there's still one more quarter to play. They took a big hit to their ego on Saturday, so a victory here would be a pleasant pick-me-up.

The Jazz came into the game with some extra motivation after the loss they were dealt the last time these two teams faced off. We'll see if they're able to flip the script or if it'll just be more of the same.

What to Know

The Jazz will be in front of their home fans on Monday, but a look at the spread shows they might need that home-court advantage. They will be home for the holidays to greet the Brooklyn Nets at 9:00 p.m. ET at Delta Center. Given that the pair suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this match.

The Jazz gave up the first points and the most points on Saturday. They found themselves the reluctant recipients of a 125-104 punch to the gut against Sacramento. The Jazz have not had much luck with the Kings recently, as the team's come up short the last two times they've met.

Despite their loss, the Jazz saw several players rise to the challenge and make noteworthy plays. Collin Sexton, who scored 28 points, was perhaps the best of all. Sexton continues to roll, besting his previous point total in each of the last five games he's played.

Meanwhile, it's hard to win when your three-point shooting is a whole 13.6% worse than the opposition, a fact the Nets found out the hard way on Saturday. They fell to Golden State 124-120. The Nets have now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.

The loss doesn't tell the whole story though, as several players had good games. One of the most active was Cameron Thomas, who scored 41 points along with five rebounds. Spencer Dinwiddie was another key contributor, dropping a double-double on 16 points and 14 assists.

Utah's loss dropped their record down to 9-17. As for Brooklyn, they have traveled a rocky road recently, as they've lost three of their last four matches, which put a noticeable dent in their 13-12 record this season.

This contest is one where the number of possessions is likely to be a big factor: The Jazz have been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 46.3 rebounds per game (they're ranked fourth in rebounds per game overall). However, it's not like the Nets (currently ranked first in rebounds per game) struggle in that department as they've been averaging 47.5 rebounds per game. Given these competing strengths, it'll be interesting to see how their clash plays out.

The Jazz and the Nets were neck-and-neck when the teams last played back in April, but the Jazz came up empty-handed after a 111-110 loss. Will the Jazz have more luck at home instead of on the road?
