Second Quarter

In the second quarter, the Jazz found their rhythm and surged ahead thanks to their effective shooting from beyond the arc. Despite this, H-Town's Kevin Durant kept them within striking distance by scoring consistently throughout this period. However, it was clear that Utah's defense began tightening its grip on Red Nation's offensive efforts.
