SALT LAKE CITY —– Maybe Jazz coach Quin Snyder didn’t care that much if his team won Wednesday night in Utah’s season finale, but guys like Shelvin Mack, Alec Burks and Jeff Withey certainly weren’t about to let the Jazz lose when they had a chance to make a difference.
Those three players rank 10th, 12th and 13th, respectively, in total minutes played this year for the Jazz, but they led a late-game surge to give the Jazz a victory in their last game of the year.
Mack scored 11 points on 4-of-5 shooting in the final quarter, while Burks hit a key 3-pointer and Withey scored three points and came up with a big block and a huge rebound at the end.
