The Utah Jazz missed 21 shots in the first quarter and were without Mike Conley. It didn’t matter. In the second half the Utah Jazz came back to beat the the Los Angeles Clippers, 112-109.
It really was a tale of two halves for the Jazz. There were so many misses in the first half, it almost became unwatchable. But what kept the Jazz in this game was some incredible defensive performances from so many players. Royce O’Neale had some monster plays and did as good a job as anyone can guarding Kawhi Leonard and Paul George.
