POSTCAST - James Harden's Performance Leaves Jazz Reeling

Locked On Jazz - Daily Podcast On The Utah Jazz

David Locke and Ron Boone bring you POSTCAST after every Jazz game. Tonight the Los Angeles Clippers blew out the Utah Jazz and cruised with the wind in their sails to a monstrous easy win.

David Locke, radio voice of the Utah Jazz and Jazz NBA Insider, and Ron Boone dissect a historic blowout loss for the Utah Jazz against the Los Angeles Clippers. The game saw the Jazz fall behind by 20 points just 6:31 into the first quarter, a deficit they never recovered from. James Harden's exceptional performance, including his second-highest first-quarter scoring and most three-pointers in a game, is analyzed in the context of his recent struggles.

The podcast explores the implications of such a lopsided defeat on player development, particularly for young talents like Keyonte George. Locke and Boone discuss the potential impact on the team's rotation, noting Isaiah Collier's absence from the first half and Jordan Clarkson's return. They ponder whether this game's data holds any value for the coaching staff and speculate on how the team might bounce back as they embark on a long road trip.
