Recap
Jazz dominated this game to tie the series up at 1-1 against the Nuggets.
Another reliable performance from Mitchell following his Jazz record high playoff points score in the previous match-up.
Jazz came out looking strong in this game from tip-off, Denver also showed up and fought hard through the first and second quarters. It wasn’t until then that Jazz started to break away. Jazz applied high pressure looking for steals to get the fast-break points, and they were more efficient on the offensive end. Denver struggled to keep up with the Jazz’s pace, and this showed in the scoreline.
An excellent game 2, and this is looking like it will be one of the more exciting battles in round 1.
