The last Jazz player to walk out of the locker room was Thabo Sefolosha after a long soak in the ice tub.
He’s 33 now, the same age LeBron James turned on Saturday. He gets as much post-game treatment as anyone on the team. And you could say in the Jazz’s 104-101 win over the Cavaliers, Sefolosha more than earned it.
“How long has it been since we finished?” he said. “I was in [the tub] the whole time.”
It may take longer than ever to recover, but the veteran showed he can still play at the top of his game Saturday in Utah’s victory.
