SALT LAKE CITY — With their first-round playoff series tied at a game apiece, the Utah Jazz and Denver Nuggets will square off Friday afternoon in a big Game 3 in Orlando.
The Jazz won Game 2 in decisive fashion 124-105 after faltering down the stretch in Game 1 and losing 135-125.
Some good news came Utah’s way before tip off Friday, as Mike Conley was officially declared available to play after he missed the first two games of the series. Conley had left the NBA’s bubble in Orlando Sunday to be with his wife, who gave birth in Ohio, and he had to be in quarantine for four days upon his return to Florida Monday.
