The Jazz had a 23-point lead in the third, which was eventually trimmed to 21 by the end of the quarter. And then in the fourth, they choked, making so many little mistakes that Quin Snyder didn’t want to name them all in his post-game press conference.
The Wolves outscored the Jazz 33-16 in the fourth, cutting that 21-point lead down to just one at one point, and had multiple shot opportunities that would have put them in front. Oh, and the Wolves were without three point guards due to injury (Derrick Rose, Tyus Jones, Jeff Teague), their best defensive player (Robert Covington), Taj Gibson (ejected), and Gorgui Dieng (hip contusion suffered in game).
