While there's no doubt that the triangle offense is based on lots of movement, which leads to penetration and free throws, the pick and roll style that the Jazz use is at least as reliant on getting in to the paint and getting to the basket. The Jazz always have constant cuts and back screens which lead to fouling as well, and the Lakers simply aren't a good enough team defensively to account for how little the Jazz have gotten to the free throw line, particularly in game three. Still, though th Lakers have gotten a few more calls, I don't think it has been a deciding factor, because we had are chance in both game one and two, and missed crucial shots during our late runs. We need to focus more on getting to the basket, keeping Kobe outside the lanes (even if it means giving him the jumper), and fouling less.
