    Held them to 44 points the 2nd half and yes did miss some wide open 3 but the defense was dictating who was shooting the 3 though. 2nd half defense was shutting the drive down by Nurk taking a good angles for the help defender.

    Yes Utah was missing dudes and missing some good looks, but for us to win fairly easily with Powell and Nurk also going 6-25 is impressive!

    I've concluded three things have to happen for the Blazers to be able to play with anyone in the NBA.

    1. Get good shots every time down. No lazy, iso offense unless we get a switch or a mismatch that dictates it. Know the time and score situation.

    2. Play aggressively against the pick-and-roll. Take initiative defensively.

    3. Push the ball when we get steals or long rebounds. We have great offensive players. Why play with one hand behind our backs by letting the defense set up?

    It also helps a great deal when Melo is on, because he's going to shoot whether he's on or not.

    Yeah, it's a road win when we spotted them a big early lead and effectively we won this by double-figures.

    For the most part, I thought they executed really well. This is often the case with an 8 man rotation. Not the best shooting but they took good shots
