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

The Cleveland Cavaliers dominated the Utah Jazz in a lopsided 120-91 victory, showcasing the stark contrast between a top Eastern Conference team and a rebuilding squad. David Locke, radio voice of the Utah Jazz and Jazz NBA Insider, breaks down how the Cavs' third-quarter explosion, outscoring the Jazz 37-19, effectively ended the contest. The Jazz's offensive struggles were evident, shooting just 36% overall and posting their lowest point total of the season.

Rookie performances took center stage, with Cody Williams and Isaiah Collier facing significant challenges against elite competition. Walker Kessler and Kyle Filipowski earned reliability pluses, but the overall team effort fell short. The podcast explores the developmental journey of young players, using the metaphor of climbing Mount Everest to illustrate the difficulties of becoming a top NBA talent. Can the Jazz's rookies overcome their "cold night on Everest" and prove they belong among the league's elite?
