SALT LAKE CITY — Vivint Smart Home Arena vibrated with the boos. The Utah fans jeered at Dennis Schroder from the rafters to the floor. He strolled to the free throw line.
Schroder was ruining the Jazz’s night. The speedy, blue-headband-clad guard had been disrupting Utah on both ends of the floor all night, in what would become a 104-90 Thunder win. This was the last straw.
Set up just inside the 3-point line, Schroder noticed the Jazz's Emmanuel Mudiay closing in from behind. Schroder left the floor and contorted in the air as he threw up a shot, drawing contact from Mudiay as he did.
