A peculiar trend has taken hold in our little corner of the basketball universe. Pundits, prognosticators and fans of the Utah Jazz alike have suddenly become very bad at math.
On Sunday night, the Utah Jazz lost a rough one to the San Antonio Spurs. And, somehow, the result of that one game seemingly trumps the fact that Donovan Mitchell and company had won five of their previous seven contests and clawed their way back .500 before the letdown.
Newsflash: barring major injury, two weeks of work isn’t undone in one night. Five of seven (now, eight) is always greater than one in the L-column.
