Most of the 18,306 people packed into Vivint Arena on Friday night were still angry, wanting to exact revenge on Gordon Hayward and his Celtics for the obvious reason: Conspiring to swipe away to Boston the only All-Star the Jazz had on their roster a year and a half ago. But when the All-Star himself was the one making the deal happen, what are you gonna do?
Boo, that’s what. Boo and boo some more and, as it turned out, heartily enjoy a Jazz win, by the count of 123-115.
“I’ll never tell fans how they should act, boo or cheer,” Jazz general manager Dennis Lindsey said when asked what was appropriate in this case.
