Kragthorpe: Jazz will be forgiven for crumbling in OKC, as long as they win Game 6

The Jazz were crushing Oklahoma City in the third quarter Wednesday night when the local television producers posted a billboard with the schedule of Games 6 and 7, for the sponsor’s sake.

I just laughed and resumed compiling my rankings of the Jazz’s all-time most impressive playoff series performances. Then the Jazz proceeded to lose a 25-point lead within eight minutes, playing their way off that list and potentially onto another — the team’s most disappointing first-round playoff series defeats.

That sequence of events makes Friday’s Game 6 at Vivint Smart Home Arena one of the biggest moments in franchise history.
