SALT LAKE CITY — It was drastically different from the previous two games in which the Utah Jazz won by 19 and 37 points, respectively, but they were clutch down the stretch Sunday night in Orlando and once again beat the Denver Nuggets in their first-round playoff series.
This time, the Jazz came out on top 129-127 to take a 3-1 lead in the series. They can close it out in Game 5 on Tuesday.
Donovan Mitchell scored 18 points in the fourth quarter and finished with 51, becoming just the third player in NBA history to score at least 50 points in two games in a playoff series, joining Michael Jordan and Allen Iverson.
