The Cleveland Cavaliers were missing most of their firepower Tuesday night, but the Utah Jazz still expected a test from the league’s top-ranked defense.
“There are teams that have size on the interior, and certainly they have that, but they also have length on the perimeter,” head coach Quin Snyder said before tipoff. “That’s an opportunity for us to get out and run and try to get some open looks before their defense sets. We need to make sure we’re ready to take some 3s.”
How about 24 of them?
The Jazz flirted with a franchise record for made triples and had five players finish with double-digit scoring totals in an easy, 117-87, win over the Cavs.
