The Downbeat: the Utah Jazz optimism index
When digesting a season like the Utah Jazz are beginning to embark upon, it’s important to take the moments bite by bite, rather than in one giant mouthful. Utah will not win many games this year — that’s a given, and a point that’s been beaten to death at this point — and the remedy […]
Utah Jazz vs Indiana Pacers recap and final score: Ace Bailey plays better in blue
The Jazz debuted their ‘City Edition’ jerseys tonight vs Indiana, a remix of their gradient uniforms during the early Donovan Mitchell days. After dropping their past 2 games against Minnesota, the Jazz were hungry. They couldn’t let a 1-9 Pacers team walk into their arena and walk away without a care in the world. And […]
Utah Jazz vs Indiana Pacers preview: A battle of the NBA’s worst records
The Utah Jazz, on the back end of a back-to-back, will take on the 1-9 Indiana Pacers in Salt Lake City. The Jazz come into this after two losses to the Minnesota Timberwolves. They’ve also lost 6 of their last 7 after starting the season 2-1. The Indiana Pacers are just 1-9, but do come […]
Utah Jazz vs Minnesota Player Grades: Keyonte George earns extra credit
Svi Mykhailiuk | D+ Will Hardy’s favorite player struggled to hit shots in this one. He also didn’t defend particularly well, as evidenced by his team-worst -17. I don’t normally put too much credence into +/-, but when all of Jazz media points to it when it’s good, you have to also admit when it’s […]
Utah Jazz vs. Minesota Timberwolves: Recap and Final Score
The Jazz returned to the friendly confines of the Delta Center, playing host to the Minnesota Timberwolves, who thoroughly dispatched them their last meeting, 137-97. This one was more competitive, with the Jazz even holding a small halftime lead. However, in the third quarter the Jazz were reminiscent of J.R.R. Tolkien’s ancient dwarves of Khazad-dûm—they […]
Preview: Utah Jazz line up a second date with the Minnesota Timberwolves
The Utah Jazz endured the first date from hell with the Minnesota Timberwolves on November 8th. Julius Randle spoke with a mouth full of ribs and absent-mindedly wiped barbecue sauce on his shirt. Rudy Gobert spoke through just about every major moment of Top Gun: Maverick — in French, no less. Anthony Edwards shot Sprite […]
Utah Jazz Reacts: Utah has a clear most improved player
The Utah Jazz have come into this season with some promising players, but who is the one who is showing the most results? In our latest NBA Reacts, I wanted to see who Jazz fans think is their most improved player, and it’s clear that Jazz fans look at Keyonte George as that player. This […]
The tank is on whether the Jazz like it or not
After starting the season 2-1, the Utah Jazz have not gone 1-5 since and are now at the bottom of the standings again with a 3-6 record. With Walker Kessler now out for the season, the Jazz’s center depth is seriously compromised. I’m not sure if that’s what they wanted, it’s not really clear what […]
Utah Jazz vs Minnesota Timberwolves: Player Grades
It was a tough loss for the Utah Jazz, who played their toughest opponent this season, and things did not go well. Here are some player grades for this one. Svi Mykhailiuk | B The heart and soul of this Utah Jazz team. Some would say the most important player is driving the winning culture […]
Utah Jazz vs Minnesota Timberwolves recap and final score: The massacre in Minneapolis
Pretty sure I contracted some form of radiation poisoning with one look at the Wolves’ NBA Cup court. Turns out, it’s difficult to hit your shots when you’re playing on the surface of the sun. For 48 minutes, the Jazz were completely lost on the floor. Wolves blunder the Jazz 137-97, and Utah goes winless […]
The Utah Jazz don’t have a plan this season … again
It’s now four seasons since the Utah Jazz traded Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert, initiating the current team rebuild. The three seasons before this, Utah has made some interesting decisions. In the first two seasons, there was an obvious lack of a plan on how to move forward. With Lauri Markkanen having a breakout season, […]
Utah Jazz stumble into the Target Center against the Minnesota Timberwolves
The Utah Jazz remind me of myself in this one way: we both get caught shuffling, stumbling, and meandering through Target on Friday night. We differ in these two specific ways: I rarely appear at the sliding glass doors with my socks on, and I usually come away with something that I actually wanted before […]
Utah Jazz vs Detroit Pistons: Game Recap
After the unfortunate news about the Utah Jazz losing Walker Kessler for the season, the Jazz take another L and fall to the Detroit Pistons with the final score being 103-114. Cade Cunningham led the way for the Pistons with 31 points, 10 assists, and 3 rebounds, while Svi Mykhailiuk attempted to carry the Jazz […]
BREAKING: Walker Kessler Out for Season
In an unfortunate turn of events for all involved, the Jazz will be without their star center until the 2026-27 season: This comes as a major blow to Walker himself, who could have possibly had a contract extension last month but instead faces restricted free agency, which is sure to be far less lucrative than […]
Utah Jazz vs Detroit Pistons preview: Injury report and how to watch
After a surprising win in Boston, our Utah Jazz (3-4, 11th in the West) continue the road trip in Detroit, facing off against a surprisingly potent Detroit Pistons team (5-2, 4th in the East).

The Downbeat: The Utah Jazz preseason did not happen
If you are reading this, it can mean just one thing: I am already dead. I was asking too many questions, I had stuck my nose into business other than my own, but most importantly: I saw the one thing that the Utah Jazz front office absolutely did not want unpriveledged eyes to witness. I […]
Utah Jazz Reacts: Who deserves MIP votes?
The Utah Jazz youth movement is starting to show some dividends. The best part is it’s coming from a lot of different places. Some of that development is getting so good it might get some national attention soon, maybe necessarily so. As a Jazz fan, your vote matters the most in this one considering you’re […]
Utah Jazz vs Boston Celtics recap and final score: Keyonte George has arrived
The Utah Jazz broke their three-game losing streak with an impressive come-from-behind win against the Boston Celtics 105-103. The player of the game for the Jazz was, without question, Keyonte George. George was a force on offense with 31 points on 9/16 shooting from the field and 2/5 from three. He was in command of […]
Utah Jazz visit their own comeuppance, the Boston Celtics, in Monday Night showdown
Strap yourselves to your seats, ladies and gentlemen, because the Boston Celtics are coming to town. The Celtics have fallen a bit from grace since their championship-winning 2023-24 season. Blame it on Jayson Tatum’s Achilles injury, blame it on an overdependence on the three-point shot, blame it on the boogie for all I care. But […]
Utah Jazz vs. Charlotte Hornets: Recap and Final Score
The Utah Jazz dropped their third-straight game in a loss against Charlotte Hornets, with a final score of 103-126. Here are the biggest takeaways from the night: Makkanen and whose army?

Trick or Treat! Jazz vs. Suns Preview, Injuries, How to Watch
Last time the Jazz played the Suns, they managed to secure a wild, improbable victory in overtime.
