Quin Snyder of the Utah Jazz and Doc Rivers of the Philadelphia 76ers named coaches of the month for December and January. The Utah Jazz were on a franchise-record 11-game winning streak until Sunday.
During their dominant January, the Jazz were very good on both ends of the floor. Here’s how they ranked in some key statistical categories:
-No. 4 — Offensive Rating — 116.5
-No. 7 — Defensive Rating — 107.9
-No. 2 — Net Rating — 9.2
-No. 1 — Rebounding — 48.9 per game (53.5 percent)
-No. 2 — Offensive rebounding — 30.2 percent
On the other hand, Doc Rivers led the Philadelphia 76ers to the best record in the Eastern Conference. The Sixers have started 15-6 through the first 21 games of the season.
76ers lead the league in blocks and fast-break points per game, while also ranking in the top five in steals per game, free throws made and attempted per game, and opponent field-goal percentage.
