SALT LAKE CITY -- This is how well it has to go for the Utah Jazz in order to beat Houston: almost perfectly.
And then it’s not enough.
After losing by 32 and 20 points in the first two games of the playoffs, the Jazz lost 104-101 to the Rockets Saturday, stretching Houston’s best-of-seven series lead to 3-0. How much do the Jazz need to do, in order to beat this team?
James Harden has to miss 15 straight shots and not get a field goal until 7:32 are left in the game. Then it’s an open court layup.
