Houston • Sunday’s offensive effort left a lot to be desired in general, but arguably the biggest problem area for the Jazz on that end of the court was the team’s woeful 3-point shooting.
They connected on just 7 of 27 attempts from beyond the arc — 25.9% — which made forays into the paint all the more difficult.
The Rockets, meanwhile, hit 15 of 41 attempts (36.6%), and the 45-21 advantage in points from deep proved a significant factor in the outcome.
Jazz coach Quin Snyder said Utah was impacted both by getting some good looks and simply missing them as well as missing opportunities for other quality shots.
