OAKLAND — With starting guard George Hill out because of a recurring toe injury, the Utah Jazz were forced to man the point guard position by committee in Thursday night’s Game 2 at Oracle Arena.
However, it likely wouldn’t have mattered if the Jazz had Hill or even John Stockton in his prime playing in Thursday night’s contest. This game was almost decided in the opening few minutes and the 115-104 loss had little to do with the Jazz point guards.
The three point guards, Shelvin Mack, Raul Neto and Dante Exum, combined for 26 points and eight assists, with Mack doing most of the damage.
