These are the types of stories that are reserved for blowouts near the end of the season when the loss no longer matters because it won’t affect a team’s standing.
That’s are where the Jazz are after losing by what should have been over 20 points to the Golden State Warriors. If it hadn’t been for the last couple of minutes and the Golden State bench.
“New Orleans, here we come! The debauchery of Bourbon Street.” (I don't think anyone told the play-by-play guy that most of Utah is Mormon.)
Portland put down the Brooklyn Nets. Kevin Garnett started hot hitting 6 of 6, but Wesley Matthews matched him with 4 triples. The Blazers were still down for most of the game, but got the win by 10 points.
That gives the Nets 7 losses; they are at the bottom of the Atlantic. The sad part is that the leader in the Atlantic, Philadelphia, is 5 and 6, so the Nets are only down by 2 games with a very real shot of still coming together for a run.
