Welcome to the scouting desk. The coffee is cold, the film is play-by-play, and somebody has to explain what happened.
Every game has a hinge — a stretch where it was decided, usually while everyone was watching something else. Start where the evidence lives: the Lineups' face-offs say which five actually won their minutes; the Possessions ledger says who ran ahead of the night's own pace; the Shot Chart says where the points really came from, which is rarely where the highlights were. When all three agree, that is the story. When they don't — that is why this desk has a chair.

George makes late 3 in 2OT, Markkanen scores 47 as Jazz beat Bulls 150-147
SALT LAKE CITY -- — Keyonte George made 3-pointer with 2 seconds remaining in the second overtime, Lauri Markkanen scored 47 points and the Utah Jazz beat the Chicago Bulls 150-147 on Sunday night in the NBA's highest-scoring game of the season.
George finished with 32 points — including six in the second OT. Isaiah Collier and Brice Sensabaugh each had 16 points, and Kevin Love and Svi Mykhaiuluk each added 10 as the Jazz won for the second time in three games after losing six of seven.
Coby White scored 27 points and Josh Giddey had 26 points, 12 rebounds and 13 assists for the Bulls, who have lost five straight. Nikola Vučević had 21 points, Matas Buzelis and Ayo Dosunmu each scored 18 and Julian Phillips 10.
White, who's layup with 0.2 seconds left in the first OT tied the score at 136, made two free throws with 8.4 seconds to go in the second OT to tie it at 147. After George's go-ahead 3, Vučević missed a potential tying basket at the buzzer.
Utah led 136-132 in the final minute of the first OT, before Buzelis had a dunk with 27 seconds to go and White made his tying layup to send it to a second OT.
The Jazz trailed by seven early in the fourth quarter before using an 8-0 run to take a 102-101 lead on Sensabaugh's 3 with 9:23 remaining. Collier followed with a layup to push the lead to three less than 30 seconds later.
