The Utah Jazz fall in a close road battle with the Phoenix Suns Saturday night: final score 112-113.
Similar to the matchup two weeks ago at home, the Jazz played a tight game in the second half trading winning plays and boneheaded mistakes. Unlike that matchup, however, the Jazz failed to keep that ratio respectable.
Jazz found themselves down 1, on defense, with two seconds separating shot and game clock. Two things were obvious: 1) technically Phoenix can’t hold to the final shot and 2) there’s no route to securing a rebound AND advancing the ball AND getting a good shot.
