The Utah Jazz quickly built a 40-point lead and never took their foot off the gas. The offense was firing on all cylinders. Decisive drives, crisp passing, and hot shooting had the Jazz on a roll early, and that momentum only swelled as the game clock methodically ticked down towards 00:00.
It was the 7:01 mark of the 1st quarter, and Joseph Howarth Ingles had already drilled his third three-pointer of the game. The trash talking got going early, and against this Utah Jazz team, that’s never a good sign.
The Jazz continued to carve through Orlando’s defense with unconscious precision, and got any looks they wanted.
