Game review

What happened

The Spurs beat the Jazz 117–111 on the road. Victor Wembanyama led them with 36 points, 14 rebounds and 5 assists, and Devin Vassell added 21. For the Jazz, Keyonte George had 31 points, making 5 of 12 threes.

What the model got right

The model gave the Spurs a 76% chance on the road, mainly because of their higher team-strength rating (93.4 to 88.4), and they won by 6. Recent form pointed the same way: the Spurs had been winning by 6.5 points a game, the Jazz losing by 9.6. Lauri Markkanen and Jaren Jackson Jr. for the Jazz both missed the game, as the preview expected.

What didn't work

Not much went against the model in this one. Keyonte George's 31 points for the Jazz weren't enough to change the result.

Why

The result fits what the model leaned on, the team-strength rating. One win doesn't prove the model right: at 76%, about 2 in 10 games like this go the other way, and every result stays on our record.
