(Rick Egan | The Salt Lake Tribune) Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley (10) Utah Jazz forward Royce O'Neale (23), and Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (00) spray water on Utah Jazz forward Georges Niang (31), during his post game interview, in NBA action between the Utah Jazz and the Charlotte Hornets at Vivint Arena, on Monday, Feb. 22, 2021.
For the better part of three quarters Monday night, the Utah Jazz were playing listless basketball — not bothering with transition defense, forcing isolation looks, careless with the ball, consumed by arguing with the refs.
They were down double digits to the Charlotte Hornets with the game soon to go to the final 12 minutes.
