My first draft of this recap was nothing but poop emojis. Literally. I’m not joking.
After getting blown out in game 1, you’d expect the Jazz to come out swinging in game 2, fighting for their effective playoff lives. Of the 282 teams that have gone down 2-0 in a 7-game series, only 20 have come back to win it. For those of you keeping track at home, that’s just over 7%. It’s only happened 6 times since 2012.
Houston jumped to an early 12-4 lead just a few minutes into the game. They never looked back.
