Utah bounced back from a loss at Detroit with a 99-71 rout of the injury-depleted Philadelphia 76ers. Derrick Favors scored 20 points and pulled down 12 rebounds, and Rudy Gobert grabbed 11 rebounds and blocked six shots. It was an impressive defensive performance for the Jazz which held the Sixers to just a 30.2 percent field goal percentage. Indiana is attempting to install a more up-tempo offense, but it seems the Pacers have forgotten about defense. Indiana allowed an average of 109 points its first two games while shooting only 42.1 percent from the floor itself. George Hill leads his team with a 19.5 scoring average, however, Paul George and Monta Ellis are shooting a combined 27 percent from the field. This is a back-to-back for Utah, but the Jazz didn't have to expend much energy against the lowly 76ers last night. Grab the points and play the Jazz.
