The Roundup—Jazz falter late, fall to Denver in SLC

Three days off couldn't help the Utah Jazz as they dropped a 98-95 heartbreaker at home Wednesday night to the Denver Nuggets.

Utah led after the first, second and third quarters—and by as many as 15 in the second half—but Denver finished the game on a 17-5 run to steal the victory.

With the Jazz down by one and 12.9 seconds left to play, Mike Conley got into the lane but missed an off-balance jumper. After two free throws by the Nuggets with 5.8 seconds left, a running 3-point try by Bojan Bogdanoviu0107 came up just short, bouncing off the front of the rim just before the final buzzer sounded.
