The Utah Jazz played tonight. And the Utah Jazz got off to a slow start. It’s a broken record at this point. They only mustered 14 points in the first quarter, but fortunately the defense showed up and kept them in the game.
Rubio crapped the bed in the first quarter. That’s really all there is to say about it. Bad turnovers. Air ball threes. Blown layups. It was ugly. It was looking like another one of those games where the Jazz desperately need another scorer. Crowder filled that role some with a couple back to back threes to bring the Jazz back into it.
