NBA 2018-19: 3 Talking Points from the match as the Thunder had a tight win over the Jazz

#2 Great ball movement from the Utah Jazz:

Rubio and Mitchell had a combined 20 assists in the match

It is quite evident from this early part of the season that the Jazz don't possess too many shot creators that can create off the dribble and score buckets. The Jazz rely on ball movement to create spaces for the players to operate.

Their ball movement was quite apparent in this game. The Jazz finished with 35 assists on the night. Ricky Rubio had the game-high 14 assists. Joe Ingles and Donovan Mitchell also added 8 and 6 assists respectively.

The Jazz led for more than a half of the match. The Thunder totally changed the match in the third quarter, outscoring the Jazz 35-20 and taking the lead in the match. They never looked back and handed the Jazz with another loss.

The Jazz next host the Portland Trail Blazers on Christmas night and will be hoping for a different result.
