They're long gone, but the Jazz found themselves in a desperate situation against the Pacers on Tuesday. Four minutes into the third quarter, Utah trailed by 21 points and looked to be headed to another lopsided loss. "We didn't like our effort until the third quarter," Jazz coach Tyrone Corbin said. The Jazz picked up their defensive intensity early in the second half, pressuring the Pacers while also executing better on offense. Indiana's large lead was trimmed to seven by the end of the third, and the storming Jazz even took a three-point lead at Bankers Life Fieldhouse with a few minutes remaining in the game. The...
