Blake Wesley · For as much as the NBA’s game has evolved over the last few decades, one fundamental truth remains as accurate as ever: the basketball moves faster than even the speediest player. In watching Blake Wesley move with blink-of-an-eye speed in everything he did on November 9, 2024, though, the Utah Jazz found that the comparison was certainly up for debate. One season removed from playing a pivotal role in the San Antonio Spurs’ No. 3-ranked attack, Wesley speeds into a rhythm too quick for even the Utah Jazz to withstand after receiving an outlet pass. Running fast, but also running out of time with under 10 seconds remaining, Wesley zips a no-look laser to a downfloor teammate, securing a memorable end-of-quarter highlight to tie the game. Utah ultimately prevailed in a one-point win, but Wesley’s contribution was both efficient and effective as he tallied five points (on two-of-four shooting), alongside two assists and one steal. · State of Mint
