DENVER – Utah Jazz guard Keyonte George showed off his court vision with a perfectly placed pass to a cutting Kyle Filipowski against the Denver Nuggets.
The ball flew right by Peyton Watson and Nikola Jokic before finding Filipowski for the dunk.

George was Utah’s leading scorer and potentially best player in the first half.
The second-year guard posted 12 points and three assists on almost 50 percent from the floor. Kyle Filipowski was next up with nine points and five rebounds.
After a slow first quarter, Utah nearly erased the Denver lead with a second-quarter run. The Nuggets were able to catch their stride again and went back up by double figures at the half.

With momentum already on their side from how the first half ended, the Nuggets continued their run into the third.
They outscored Utah by six to start the quarter and jumped out to their largest lead of the game.
Utah Jazz Start Final Extended Road Trip In Denver
The Utah Jazz begin their final multi-game road trip of the season in Denver against the Nuggets tonight.
The month of March hasn’t been kind to the Jazz. They are 1-14 since the start of the month. The silver lining is that the skid has dropped them to the worst record in the NBA, which bodes well for lottery odds in May.
The Nuggets are currently the third seed in the Western Conference. However, in their last 10 games they are 5-5 with concerning losses to teams like Chicago and Washington. With Nikola Jokic playing at an unreal level, Denver will look to build up some confidence and get back on the horse with the Jazz in town.
This is the fourth and final matchup between Denver and Utah this season. The Nuggets are 3-0 in the season series with an average victory margin of over 18 points.
