Jazz Offense Clicks En Route To First-Quarter Lead Over Indiana Pacers

INDIANAPOLIS – The last month or so of Utah Jazz basketball hasn’t been the prettiest, but they bumped that trend in the first quarter against the Indiana Pacers.

Every player contributed in some way, with most coming out of the gates strong on the offensive end.

Isaiah Collier and Keyonte George set the offense up as they usually do. Both of the young guards posted four points and three assists.

Kyle Filipowski and Collin Sexton both did great work from in close and contributed four points each as well.

Johnny Juzang did what he does best as he laced four three-pointers on five attempts to lead the team with 12 points.

Brice Sensabaugh was the only Jazzman who struggled in the first, but he made his impact elsewhere by grabbing a team-high five rebounds.

The momentum carried into the second quarter too. Utah took a 10-point lead after two minutes.
