On Monday night, Joe Johnson saved the Jazz—scoring all 15 of his points in the game’s final 17 minutes to help Utah erase a 10-point deficit and escape Phoenix with a 106-101 win.
That performance came just two days after Johnson was rested against the Orlando Magic, and it was the first time in nearly two weeks that the 16-year veteran had scored in double figures.
With that context, now seems like a great time to revisit something Jazz coach Quin Snyder said about Johnson back on January 2 after the Jazz beat the Nets in Brooklyn.
