Jazz notes: Joe Ingles passes a test against Kobe

“Even after the airball, I was still going to continue to shoot it . . . One airball is not going to stray away from me shooting a few more.”

HONOLULU — Joe Ingles will remember two moments from the Utah Jazz’s 90-71 preseason win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday night.

For one, his airball shot, which preceded his two successful 3-point attempts.

For another, the defensive stretch he had against Kobe Bryant at the end of the first quarter.

To his credit, Ingles jokingly brought up the airballed 3-point try in an interview after Monday’s Jazz practice at the Stan Sheriff Center on the University of Hawaii campus.
