Like all dogs, Ant Jr. is a good dog. He’s a constant presence in Anthony Edwards’ life. An instant mood booster and unwaveringly loyal. “[Ant Jr.’s] my best friend, he’s always there for me,” Edwards said, via ESPN. “If I have a bad game, I go home and he’s going to be the same person no matter what.”

No matter what Utah has said all season long, many in the media and fanbase refused to listen. They refused to believe that the Jazz wouldn't tank for a top draft prospect. They refused to believe even after the trade deadline in which three of their top seven rotation players were sent away.

Kentucky State

SALT LAKE CITY -- The Trail Blazers held a 47-45 lead with 5:27 to play in the first half of Wednesday night’s 127-115 victory versus the Utah Jazz in Salt Lake City when Trendon Watford grabbed a rebound and pushed the ball up the court in transition. A few seconds later, he lofted a pass to rookie Shaedon Sharpe, who used his uncommon athleticism to finish the alley-oop dunk in spectacular fashion. It’s a play the young duo has pulled off multiple times this season.

Watford, Sharpe Start And Star As The Season Changes

Just minutes into his introductory press conference after being named Utah's head coach in June, Will Hardy talked about three traits he wants to identify the Jazz. "Toughness, sacrifice, and passion are the three things that are most important to me," he said. "I want our group to be deeply competitive and able to deal with adversity. I would like for everybody to recognize that this is bigger than them individually."

Orlando, FL

ORLANDO - When examining the top rookies from the 2022-23 NBA season, there are several things that separate the Orlando Magic’s Paolo Banchero from his peers. The most obvious are the statistics, which are detailed here. But it’s not just about the numbers. Unlike anyone else you want...

Another Reason Paolo Banchero Should Be Rookie of the Year is Because He’s the Focal Point of Opposing Scouting Reports

Detroit, MI

Three quick observations from Tuesday night’s 129-107 loss to the Atlanta Hawks at State Farm Arena. CHECKING IN – One game is barely a blip on the radar when it comes to evaluating trade impact – especially when the principal return is a 21-year-old expected to be a fixture of the future – but the first meeting after a trade always feels like a measuring stick. So all eyes were on Saddiq Bey and James Wiseman as the Pistons met Atlanta for the first time since the four-team trade at the February deadline that cost the Pistons Bey (and Kevin Knox) and made Wiseman, who spent his first two-plus seasons with Golden State, a Piston. Wiseman, averaging 16.3 points and 11.3 rebounds with four double-doubles in his past six games, finished with six points and five rebounds in a foul-plagued night. Just as he did Sunday, when Wiseman scored four first-half points but finished with 22 and 13 rebounds, Wiseman got off to a slow start mostly because the ball wasn’t finding him as teammates Marvin Bagley III and Killian Hayes carried the offense. Any chance to replicate Sunday’s second-half performance by Wiseman was negated by picking up his fourth and fifth fouls early in the third quarter and sending him to the bench. After knocking down a mid-range jump shot on the first possession of the fourth quarter, Wiseman fouled out seconds later with 11:13 to play. Bey hit a pair of 3-pointers 21 seconds apart in the first quarter but scored seven of his 14 points in the fourth quarter with the game out of hand. Bey is averaging 10.1 points in 26 minutes a game for Atlanta and shooting .476 from the 3-point line. The Pistons were down seven rotation players: Bojan Bogdanovic, Alec Burks, Isaiah Livers, Isaiah Stewart, Hamidou Diallo, Jalen Duren and Cade Cunningham. Duren is the latest addition to the list as he suffered cervical whiplash in a Sunday collision with Kevin Love.

New Orleans, LA

New Orleans (35-37) hosts another vital game Thursday in the Western Conference postseason hunt, facing Charlotte at 7 p.m. Tickets are available here. Wednesday was a mixed bag on the West scoreboard, with the four teams just ahead of the Pelicans (prior to Wednesday's outcomes) going 2-2 (Dallas and Utah lost; Minnesota and the Lakers won). New Orleans remains in the No. 12 spot entering tonight, but a win Thursday would mean an upgrade to at least 11th place, inching ahead of Utah (35-37).
