Quin Snyder on his large and often changing assistant coaching staff before the @utahjazz take on the Rockets.:
"I think that they all make each other better. And maybe the biggest quality that they all share is a level of humility, where they're all really willing to learn."

First Quarter
Slow start for the @utahjazz and @HoustonRockets.

Easily the best sequence of the season for Hassan Whiteside.
He's getting more comfortable in a @utahjazz uniform. #TakeNote pic.twitter.com/rfKTvL9HSf

We see you Hassan Whiteside.
The @utahjazz center had a nasty spin move and dunk over the @HoustonRockets in the first half. #TakeNote https://t.co/Gbbfisc92H

Fourth Quarter
Jared Butler gets his first point for the @utahjazz at the free-throw line. Took a few more games than expected but he knocked down a free-throw in Houston.

Jared Butler gets on the board for the @utahjazz. 🏀#TakeNote https://t.co/eWDdEGaGfE

Even beyond his one point, this has been by far Jared Butler's best stretch in a Jazz uniform.
Made the right pass to the corner a few times, played under control, fought over screens well.
Got a blocked shot and his hustle led to a Clarkson dunk. That's how he can help.

The @UtahJazz are 4-0 to start the season for the first time since starting 5-0 in the 2008-09 season.#TakeNote l @KSLSports
