The postgame interview hadn’t finished. Didn’t matter. It could wait. Utah Jazz head coach Quin Snyder stepped into the frame, wrapped his arms around Jae Crowder and then proudly hit the forward’s chest with a closed fist.
Crowder had just scored 20 points—including a key 3-pointer late in the game—to help the Jazz beat the Celtics at Vivint Smart Home Arena. It was another statement game for Crowder. The former Maverick and Celtic loves to remind his old teams that he thinks it was a mistake to ever let him go.
“They know,” he’d say in the locker room afterward.
