Another slow start. Another strong third quarter. Another win.
Utah erased a 12-point first-half deficit to claim a 100-94 victory over the Pistons in Salt Lake City Monday night. The Jazz (24-21) have now won four straight, and six of their last seven games. And they've been playing with fire—relying on second-half comebacks in four of those six wins.
"I think right now we are doing the things we're supposed to do defensively, and it fuels us," Rudy Gobert said after the game.
Utah outscored Detroit 47-35 in the second half while allowing the Pistons to shoot only 38.
