With just under two minutes left in the first quarter, the Utah Jazz looked like they were really starting to turn a corner.
Utah held a 35-16 lead over the Miami Heat. It was hardly a basketball game. At that moment, life was great for Jazz fan. Two straight wins after trading for a beloved former Jazzman and a 19-point lead over a decent Miami team. Sure, there was a lot of basketball to play, but Utah could at least hold onto a lead like this, right?
No. The answer to that question is no.
