UTAH JAZZ

Kyle Filipowski Steal Leads To Isaiah Collier Dunk For Utah Jazz

Dec 30, 2024, 8:41 PM | Updated: Jan 2, 2025, 2:22 pm

SALT LAKE CITY- The Utah Jazz have been firing on all cylinders offensively tonight against the Denver Nuggets, shooting 49% from the field in the first half and scoring 66 points.

Utah has also gotten out in transition with 11 fast break points, two of them coming when Kyle Filipowski and Isaiah Collier teamed up for an electric play.

With 8:37 remaining in the second quarter, Jamal Murray was being guarded by Isaiah Collier at the top of the paint beyond the three-point line. DeAndre Jordan set a screen on Collier, forcing Kyle Filipowski to pick up Murray. Collier fought through the screen, and suddenly Jamal Murray found himself being double-teamed.

Filipowski poked the ball out of Murray’s hands and Isaiah Collier was off to the races. He picked up the loose ball around half-court and took it uncontested all the way to the hoop for the slam.

Jazz Host Nuggets Looking To Snap Three-Game Losing Streak

After winning back-to-back games for the first time this season over the Detroit Pistons and Brooklyn Nets, the Jazz have dropped three straight to the Cleveland Cavaliers, Portland Trail Blazers, and the Philadelphia 76ers.

The Jazz will host the Nuggets before embarking on a three-game east coast road trip with stops against the New York Knicks on New Year’s Day, before playing back-to-back games in Miami and Orlando beginning Saturday.

At 7-23, the Jazz own the fifth-worst record in the NBA but are tied for the second-fewest wins overall.

The Nuggets travel to face the Jazz before opening a heavy stretch of home games to begin the new year.

After facing the Jazz, the 17-13 Nuggets will play five of their next six games in Denver as they look to climb out of the seventh seed in the West.
