On this week’s episode of the Weekly Run, former Salt Lake Tribune Jazz beat writer and current The Athletic beat writer Tony Jones joins Andy Larsen and Eric Walden to break down what’s happening with the Jazz lately.
In particular, what has the Jazz defense (especially Rudy Gobert) done right recently, after four straight games of holding opponents under 100 points per 100 possessions?
