The Brooklyn Nets (17 - 42) upset the Utah Jazz (28 - 30) 98 - 96 on Saturday. Utah came into this game as a double - digit favorite and simply couldn’t hold off a bad Nets team. The key for Brooklyn was their shooting, as they shot 48 percent from the field and 50 percent from three - point range against a dominant Jazz defense. The ball movement was huge as well, with Brooklyn dishing out 23 assists to the Jazz '14. Brooklyn has now won two - straight games without Joe Johnson, with both of them coming on the road. Thaddeus Young led the team with 21 points and also provided eight rebounds and three steals in the upset. Wayne Ellington played well too, as he tallied 16 points, six rebounds and two steals in the win. All the bench players had solid games, with all five of them scoring at least four points and combining for 20 rebounds and 13 assists. The Nets will look to keep up this good form against the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday. This is a downright bad loss for the Jazz and they continue to fall deeper and deeper out of the playoffs. Gordon Hayward led the team with 27 points, while also dishing out six assists. Rudy Gobert was dominant down low, as he accumulated 12 points, 19 rebounds and six blocks in the defeat. In contrast to the Nets bench, the Jazz had six players combine for just 10 rebounds and two assists. Utah will look to bounce back in their next game against the Boston Celtics on Monday.
