I don't go to very many Jazz games any more but I thought it would be really fun to go to a game with Sean and Tashena while she was in town over winter break. I got tickets for the game last night against the Portland Trail Blazers and not only was it a really exciting game but it was so much fun being with Sean and Tashena. We laughed and laughed when we weren't cheering our heads off! The Jazz were ahead for the whole game, sometimes by as many as 23 points, but they let the Trail Blazers come back in the fourth quarter to get within one point! The last five minutes of the game were really exciting and the crowd at Vivint Arena was out of control! I haven't been to any games this season and I hardly recognized the team (Sean mentioned the same thing) but the players that I did recognize played very well last night. Donovan Mitchell ended the game with 35 points, including some key free throws in the final minutes and a three-pointer with one minute left in the game. Joe Ingles hit quite a few three-pointers (he made six of them during the game) in the first quarter to open up the game for the Jazz and it was incredibly exciting to watch. Rudy Gobert had an absolutely beautiful block against Damian Lillard in the final seconds that pretty much sealed the game. Our new player, Jordan Clarkson, also had an impact in his first game in a Jazz uniform. He ended the night with nine points (which is pretty good since he only had one shoot-around with the team to get familiar with the offense). The Jazz ended up winning 121-115 (Tashena thinks that she is a good luck charm). This game was so much fun!
