Brunson was stellar, but it was Kleber that swung the series in our favor.

Game 1 - Gobert had his way both defensively and on the boards. Jazz were +19 on the boards and even though our defense was stellar (and almost pulled a win despite a freak three from ONeal), Jazz just had so many more shots. Brunson was frustrated with the interior defense and we just struggled to get anything

Game 2 - Jazz came in with the same game plan but Kidd kept feeding Kleber who was wide open because Gobert struggles to move outside the paint. Gobert stayed inside and they were also +19 on the boards, but the threes kept falling and we won.

Game 3 - Kidd kept the same game plan and Kleber kept hitting. Gobert tried to get out, but when he did, the paint was open and we got some of our first layups of the series and Gobert wasn't able to bully us in the paint. We won the rebounding battle with Gobert trying to get out to shooters.

Kleber's ability to even threaten a three changed the momentum of the series.
