Utah Jazz (Bob DeChiara-USA TODAY Sports)
A few reserves provided some answers that the Utah Jazz desperately needed.
The Utah Jazz starters were visibly rattled in the opening minutes of an eventual 117-109 road victory over the Boston Celtics on Tuesday night.
Maybe it was the recent disappointing stretch — four defeats in the past six outings, including three of the past four — that was weighing on their minds. Or perhaps they had flashbacks to their awful start in Sunday’s eventual 131-119 loss at the Golden State Warriors (now 20-20), which led to an early double-digit deficit that proved too much to completely crawl back from.
