The Jazz have struggled when it comes to putting the ball in the net and have only been scoring an average of 95.9 points a night this season.

Denver Nuggets
The Denver Nuggets were allowed plenty of opportunity to come away with a win against the Toronto Raptors, but obviously didn’t have enough Gatorade in the jug.
The loss left the Nuggets with just a 1-4 record when playing on their own court this season.
They were only able to hit 47 percent from the field , but they played tight on defense holding the Raptors to just 45.7 percent. They couldn’t have hit the ocean if the beach was behind the 3-point line, only making 4 of 25 from behind the arc.
The 19 turnovers also played a major role in the loss.
