On Sunday, the Jazz needed a bit of extra time to put away the Nets. They skirted by Brooklyn 112-111 thanks to a clutch driving layup from Isaiah Collier with 2 seconds left in the fifth quarter. The win was some much needed relief for Utah as it spelled an end to their three-game losing streak.
Even though they won, the Jazz struggled to get the ball back on offense and finished the game with only six offensive rebounds. They were crushed by their opponents in that department as the Nets pulled down 15.

Charlotte got off to an early lead (up 12 with 4:50 left in the first quarter), but sadly they weren’t able to maintain that momentum.

What’s more, he also racked up six offensive rebounds, the most he’s had since back in November of 2023. Another player making a difference was LaMelo Ball, who dropped a double-double on 25 points and 11 assists.
