They say the NBA is a make-or-miss league, and in the case of the Jazz in these playoffs against the Rockets, it had been more of a miss-and-miss league.
After a regular season of efficient — if not expansive and explosive — shooting, the Jazz had chucked the ball up in the postseason as though they were shooting in full scuba gear from the bottom of the Great Salt Lake. They couldn’t throw it out of the ocean.
In Game 4 at Vivint Arena, teetering on the edge of getting swept by Houston, they countered with just enough accuracy to survive, to play another day, winning by the count of 107-91.
