Donovan gets his first points in 5 quarters with 3 to start the quarter
Spurs 80 Jazz 68 with 2:12 left in the 3rd quarter
Jazz are battling but those little plays you need to come back from 21 aren’t going their way. Loose balls, offensive rebounds, etc
Rubio leading the comeback with 20 points of 8 of 18 shooting
Spurs 94 Jazz 83 with 8:13 left in the 4th quarter
Jazz got it to within 5 with at 86-81 but Spurs answer with 8-2 run.
Wiggle room is really small having been 21 and too many little plays not going the Jazz way.
Donovan has 23 in the 2nd half
Spurs 99 Jazz 91 with 5:12 left in the 4th quarter
Jazz on a 11-2 run. Rubio has 26 points
Aldridge gets 5th foul and Pop takes him out which makes no sense
Final Score – Spurs win it 110 97
Rudy Gay with a huge night (23 pts and 15 rebs) after being scoreless game in SLC
Jazz allowed a few too many defensive rebounds and didn’t all the bounces you need for a 21 point comeback.
The Jazz fell short in the second half as the Toronto defense shut the new-look Jazz down in route to cruising to an 114 – 82 Raptors victory. Lauri Markkanen shined for the Jazz with 20 points and 5 rebounds but the Raptors length and athleticism proved to be too much for the Jazz riding a dominant 3rd quarter to pull away from the Jazz who played well in the first half, only trailing by one.
