Utah Jazz coach Will Hardy described his team’s 147-97 loss to the Dallas Mavericks as a complete disaster.
He expressed particular disappointment in the defensive effort from the beginning of the game, emphasizing that the Mavericks seemed to be operating at a higher speed than the Utah Jazz coach.
Hardy’s frustration was evident as he called out specific defensive lapses, like missed switches and allowing open shots. The game’s statistics reflected the mismatch, with Luka Doncic’s impressive performance resulting in a 40-point triple-double by halftime, leaving the Jazz trailing by a significant margin. Despite missing key players due to injuries, Hardy stressed that their defensive struggles couldn’t solely be attributed to absent players.
Utah Jazz coach’s overall performance is a cause for concern, as they currently hold a 7-14 record and rank poorly in net rating. They’ll face the Los Angeles Clippers next, hoping to turn their performance around after this humbling defeat.
