After jumping out to a double-digit lead in the second quarter, Utah found itself tied at 65 with Minnesota early in the third quarter.
Rather than call timeout, head coach Quin Snyder elected to let his veteran team play through their shooting struggles.
And that’s why he’s one of the top coaches in the game.
Over the final 22 minutes, the Jazz outscored Minnesota by 32 points as the second half surge powered Utah to a 136-104 victory over the Timberwolves — their fifth consecutive win.
“They (Minnesota) made some shots early, and sometimes when teams are making shots it can be discouraging,” Snyder said postgame.
