SALT LAKE CITY -- George Santayana, a Spanish-born author, poet and philosopher coined this famous phrase: “Those who cannot remember the past are doomed to repeat it.”

Being down 2-1 in a playoff series has usually held dramatic consequences for the Jazz. Throughout their playoff history, they have won 18 series when they went ahead 2-1 and lost just four. But when they fell behind 2-1 in a series, they won six and lost 15.
