SALT LAKE CITY -- Before the game, after all the talk in the preceding days about his team’s inability to shoot, Jazz coach Quin Snyder said things could turn around in a hurry if his team could just start making baskets.
“Those shots are there and if we start making them, it’s going to feel better,” Snyder said. “We can’t stop taking them and thinking they’re not good shots, they are.”
After making a lot of shots in the first quarter, the Jazz went cold in the middle two quarters only to turn it on in the final quarter for a 107-91 victory over Houston that keeps them alive in the best-of-seven series
Trailing by three points heading into the fourth quarter, he Jazz sank their first five shots of the quarter, four by Donovan Mitchell, who made 19 fourth-quarter points to finish with a game-high 31 points.
