Jazz wings Corey Crowder and Royce O’Neale would have gone a combined 0 for 18 from the field Sunday, if each player had missed a 3-point try in the middle of the team’s fourth-quarter surge at New Orleans.
That’s when you know life is good for the Jazz, even beyond having Ricky Rubio and Donovan Mitchell go for 57 points in an 18th victory in 20 games. So this remarkable run continues, with the Jazz having gone all the way from 10th place in the NBA’s Western Conference to a tie for ninth in less than two months.
