Jazz Shorts

Jazz Shorts is stayin’ alive, and so are the Utah Jazz. 

The Jazz got an unreal late-game performance from Donovan Mitchell, a streak-tastic early showing from Jae Crowder, and survived at home to force Game 5 against the Houston Rockets and avoid the dreaded playoff sweep with a 107-91 win Monday night in Salt Lake City. 

But can they be more than a one-win wonder? We’re not saying the Jazz will make history as the first team to come back from a 3-0 deficit -- but we’re not NOT saying it, either. We’ll give you three seasons to believe before Wednesday night’s 6 p.m. MDT tipoff in Texas.

KSL.com Utah Jazz beat writer Ryan Miller takes you to a funeral -- for the Jazz playoff hopes, after Utah helped James Harden miss his first 15 shots and found a way to lose Saturday night in Game 3 of the Western Conference first round series. 

Donovan Mitchell took a lot of shots. He made some. He missed some. He's beating himself up for the ones he missed? Should he? Kyle Korver doesn't think so.

KSL.com's Utah Jazz beat writer Ryan Miller is finally back in the same studio as producer Sean Walker, and boy did they have stories. 

But that'll come for another day. In the mean time, the guys discuss whether the Jazz can come back from an 0-2 deficit to the Rockets, as well as the preparations staff employees are making at Vivint Smart Home Arena to try to grow its home-court advantage before Saturday night's 8:30 p.m. MT tipoff.

KSL.com Utah Jazz beat writer Ryan Miller is tired, but he's joined by producer Sean to recap the (often) painful past 24 hours in Houston, where the Jazz went down 0-2 to the Rockets in an NBA playoffs first-round series Wednesday night, April 17, 2019. James Harden had his third career postseason triple-double, and news flash: he's good. 

But Utah's problems in this series haven't come in guarding Harden; Ricky Rubio actually did an OK job of that. It's been on offense, where the Jazz have struggled. Who knew? The Rockets can defend, too. 

Ryan also got to visit the spot of The Shot, where John Stockton "sends the Utah Jazz to the NBA finals." But it wasn't in Houston's basketball arena — at least not anymore. Unless you are from Houston, you won't believe what they've done with the place recently.
