SALT LAKE CITY — Even after stealing Game 2 on the road Wednesday, 116-108, against the mighty Houston Rockets, some of the national media still aren’t believers in the Utah Jazz.
Respecting Utah was the topic of Thursday’s Pardon The Interruption discussion on ESPN, where longtime journalists Michael Wilbon and Tony Kornheiser debated on whether or not the last game changes this Western Conference semifinals series.
Wilbon was stunned by the outcome and still expects Houston to win, but is re-evaluating how things will play out. Initially dismissive of the Jazz even standing a chance, Wilbon apologized to the franchise and followers, but Kornheiser didn’t.
