Charlotte Hornets: 3 Takeaways from loss to the Utah Jazz
By Emmett Ball
The Utah Jazz came into this game ranked first three-point field goals made per game at just under 17 makes per game. Saturday night, they broke that mark and then some. Utah shot 26 for 50 from three at an impressive 52% rate, accounting for more than 55% of their points scored in the game.
The Jazz displayed excellent ball-movement, swinging the ball around the three-point line until it was in the hands of one of their knockdown shooters such as Joe Ingles, Jordan Clarkson, Mike Conley, and especially Bojan Bogdanovic, who was 7-10 from three.
Charlotte needs to make sure that they are rotating on defense as needed so that they are contesting three-point attempts. The Hornets continue to give up three-point baskets at an alarming rate. Allowing 106 points through the end of the 3rd quarter is also concerning; the Hornets continue to look for answers on defense.
