INDIANAPOLIS — Sixteen of 37 free throw attempts were missed in Philadelphia Friday.
Another 10 of 27 were missed in Boston Saturday.
As the Utah Jazz prepare to face the Indiana Pacers on Monday, for the final stop of a five-game road trip, capitalizing on those missed opportunities is certainly an emphasis. Pacers All-Star Victor Oladipo is listed as questionable with right knee soreness.
“Everybody’s concerned,” Jazz coach Quin Snyder admitted before the Celtics game. “The players are concerned. But at the same time, you can practice them, and we do that. Record them, practice them and keep shooting them, try to simulate game situations where you can simulate a pressure free throw in practice.
