David Locke and Ron Boone bring you POSTCAST after every Utah Jazz game

Utah Jazz stun Houston Rockets with Keyonte George’s remarkable bounce-back as Will Hardy’s squad delivers its best win of the year. Can this young team maintain its new-found focus against elite defenses moving forward?

David Locke and Ron Boone dissect the Jazz’s strategic victory, spotlighting George’s 29-point performance after a career-low outing and Lauri Markkanen’s consistency. The hosts explore how Utah’s exploitation of Houston’s weaknesses forced Ime Udoka to adapt, while clutch contributions from rookies and the bench flipped the script on the Rockets’ vaunted rebounding. Key topics include possession battles, improved offensive efficiency, defensive resilience, and strong late-game execution by Kyle Filipowski and the guard rotation. Is this the blueprint the Jazz need to make noise in the Western Conference?
