There was a lot of nervous energy in Vivint Smart Home Arena this weekend, as Jazz fans saw a pair of 20-plus-point leads whittled all the way down to two in the waning minutes on both Friday and Saturday night.
The team’s inability to, as the saying goes, step on their foe’s throat and put them away, left many wondering if the Jazz lack a killer instinct.
Coach Quin Snyder, for what’s it worth, does not share that particular concern.
“I will say, I don’t think that’s been characteristic of our team,” Snyder said before Saturday’s victory over the Pelicans.
