'We lost our focus': Utah Jazz let an 18-point lead slip away at Madison Square Garden

“We lost our focus.”

That’s how Utah Jazz head coach Quin Snyder put it.

After building up an 18-point lead over the New York Knicks on Wednesday night, the Jazz left Madison Square Garden frustrated and disappointed, on the wrong end of a double-digit scoreline.

“We came out strong and we were playing the right way,” Snyder said after the 112-100 defeat. “We were defending and then we lost our focus. That’s squarely where it has to be. To me, it’s a question of focus.”

After getting blitzed early in Brooklyn, the Jazz looked to be off to another cold start in the Garden.
