SALT LAKE CITY - Facing an 0-2 deficit in the series, the Jazz changed their starting lineup on Saturday to return to the group they had used in three of the four regular-season meetings with the Rockets.
The Jazz moved Jae Crowder into the starting lineup, replacing Derrick Favors who had started the first two games of the series.
Rockets forward P.J. Tucker had made 50 percent of his 3s in the first two games with Favors better suited for defending the paint than the 3-point line. Neither grouping had much success in the first two games.
