Jazz Come Back From Down 18 Points For Third Straight Game; Utah Beats Orlando, 104-94

It’s probably fair to say that the Utah Jazz have become a second-half team. At least for the past week, they have. The Jazz scored 69 points in the second half in Orlando to get a comeback win over the Magic, who had entered the night with a four-game winning streak.

This, of course, happened a night after the Jazz scored 72 points in the second half in Miami to force overtime, where the Jazz eventually prevailed. The victory marks the third straight game where Utah overcame an 18-point deficit and won, a feat about as impressive as earning road wins in Miami and Orlando on consecutive nights.

Not the prettiest first half of action, with 22 turnovers overall, but the Magic rallied late in the second quarter, closing out with a 11-2 run to take a double-digit lead to halftime against the Jazz.

The Jazz are struggling mightily from long range, going 0-for-5 from three and in the first half. The Magic are having issues of their own from the line, where they’ve started 4-for-9 from the stripe.

The Jazz will also visit Atlanta and Charlotte on the trek.

Orlando and Utah split a pair of meetings a year ago, with each team holding serve on its own floor. The Magic have won six of the last nine matchups between the teams.
