Jazz is taken over in Orlando

The leader of the Western Conference was traveling to the penultimate place in the East, and this should not, a priori, be a problem for him. And yet, Utah has indeed fallen on the floor of Orlando: 107-100. The Jazz, beaten the day before in Miami, completely collapsed after having led by thirteen points at the end of the third quarter. At 8’36 left, the Salt Lake City franchise still led 91-83, but conceded a 9-0 in three minutes. Utah took the lead (98-96) at 2’39 from the buzzer, but two shots from Cole Anthony (33 points, his season record) and a three-point shot from RJ Hampton (his only one of the game) sealed the game. surprise victory of the Magic in the money-time. Utah registered only 8 3-pointers (missing 18 of the first 20 attempts), in the wake of a Donovan Mitchell 2 over 12 long distance, and who finished with 21 points, like Rudy Gobert. The Jazz therefore bowed for the second time in two days in Florida, and left the leading position in the West to Golden State, before receiving Atlanta.
