Game preview: The Jazz are 10-35 with the third-worst statistical defense in the NBA. … Seven injured Jazz players sat out Tuesday night’s loss to the Warriors; they were G Jordan Clarkson (foot), F John Collins (illness), G Johnny Juzang (hand), C Walker Kessler (shoulder), F Lauri Markkanen (back) and G Cody Williams (ankle). … Markkanen leads the team in scoring (19.7 ppg) while Kessler averages 11.4 rebounds per game. Both are former Wolves draft picks who were traded before playing for Minnesota. … This is the first of four meetings between the teams this season.
As his players told it, Chris Finch “woke up choosing violence,” went at them harshly during a film session and didn’t cool before he got tossed.
