Utah Jazz vs Detroit Pistons: recap and final score
The Detroit Pistons smacked the Utah Jazz 134-106 in one of the more lopsided losses of the season for the Utah Jazz.
Cade Cunningham was fantastic for the Pistons, scoring 29 points and 9 assists. He showed why he’s going to be an all-star for years to come. The Pistons also had some solid defense with contributions from their Thompson Twin, Ausar. Ausar Thompson was fantastic for the Pistons, going 7/7 from the field with 17 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, and 3 steals. His level of athleticism is remarkable and rewarded the Pistons in a big way for getting a top-5 pick last season.
For the Utah Jazz, there wasn’t a lot to be excited about, overall it was a pretty dreadful performance across the board. The best performance probably came from Kyle Filipowski, who is shooting remarkably well this season from three. Tonight, he led the Jazz in scoring with 25 points and shot 4/7 from three. For the season, he’s shooting 38% from three now.
The thing we’re learning about this Jazz team is the defense is the biggest issue. Utah has to focus on getting athletic talent that can defend. It’s why this losing season is so vital. When you watch tonight, you see a lot of players with promise, but not a lot of defensive talent. When you look at the Pistons, you can see the athleticism and defense across the board. And, like I said, having that top-5 talent has absolutely paid off for Detroit.
The good news for Jazz fans is they’re on the right course. They have finally chosen to do the right thing this season and go after elite talent at the top of the draft. If they continue the course they’re on, they’ll start building towards something once again. Had the Jazz done this the last two years we’d be seeing a Thompson twin on the Jazz and someone like ROY-front runner Stephon Castle. Now? We see a lot of potential. Things will change really quickly for Utah after this season, but it only gets better if they actually do this right and stop this halfway nonsense that leads to outcomes that teams like the Kings and Bulls experience every year.
