These are the games that lead to premature baldness and heart failure. The Utah Jazz hardly had any business winning this game but pulled out a 106-102 W nonetheless.
Utah being without Mike Conley and Donovan Mitchell, it didn’t seem to surprise many that Toronto led for most of the first half. And though they rarely led by more than six, the deficit had the quality of feeling worse because any time Utah closed the gap, the Raptors sprang ahead again. Certainly, one of many moments to define this see-saw relationship came at the end of the first quarter.
