Third quarter


The Jazz matched the Bucks with 32 points apiece in the 3rd quarter. Kyle Filipowski’s previous-game line of 14 points, 11 rebounds, and 6 assists pointed to a multi-category role that fit Utah’s push, even as the Jazz hit 24 percent from 3-point range on 49 attempts.


Fourth quarter


The Jazz closed with 23 points in the 4th quarter while the Bucks finished with 30 points in the 4th. Milwaukee’s 42 points in the paint and 63 percent on 2-point shots held up late, while Utah’s 60 total rebounds and 20 points off turnovers kept the game within reach for stretches in the Utah Jazz vs Milwaukee Bucks highlights and the broader post game analysis.


Brice Sensabaugh’s 17 points and 0 turnovers in the previous game data provided a clean-scoring example for a Jazz rotation that also produced 35 bench points in this one. The Jazz posted 23 assists against 12 total turnovers, and the Bucks answered with 11 total turnovers and an assists-to-turnover ratio of 3.0 that aligned with their control of time leading at 45:10, a note that factors into the Utah Jazz match rating.
