Will Hardy Has 3 Areas Jazz Can Improve In After Warriors Blowout
1. Defensive Rebounding
One of the biggest problems for the Jazz in their loss to the Warriors was their inability to rebound the ball defensively. Golden State outrebounded Utah 52-36, including 16-10 on the offensive glass. This gave the Warriors multiple opportunities to score second-chance points, which proved to be the difference in the game.2. Ball Movement
Another area where the Jazz struggled was in ball movement. Utah had just 19 assists on 36 made baskets, which is a sign that the offense was not flowing smoothly. The Warriors, on the other hand, had 31 assists on 43 made baskets. This shows that Golden State was able to move the ball more effectively and create better scoring opportunities.3. Free Throw Shooting
The Jazz also struggled from the free throw line, making just 15 of 23 attempts (65.2%). This is well below their season average of 79.2%. The Warriors, on the other hand, made 20 of 25 free throws (80.0%). This disparity in free throw shooting was another factor in the Jazz's loss.In addition to these three areas, Hardy also mentioned that the Jazz need to improve their transition defense and their communication on the court. These are all important areas for the Jazz to focus on if they want to be successful in the playoffs.
The Jazz have a lot of potential, but they need to make some adjustments if they want to be a contender. Hardy is a good coach, and he will be able to help the Jazz reach their full potential.
The Jazz will have a chance to bounce back when they host the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday night.
