All’s well that ends well. The Utah Jazz started out on fire. At one point in the first quarter their offensive rating was a sizzling 214.3. Rudy Gobert was hitting 20 foot jump shots, Derrick Favors was making three pointers. We really had no idea what had gotten into this team.
Then a Mr. JJ Barea checked into the game, he looked like the Jazz-Killer he is, and the Jazz looked ready to lose to a one win team for the second time in a week. The Jazz trailed by six at the end of the first quarter.
