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.
Jazz Vs. Magic: Utah Completes Dramatic Second Half Comeback For Third Straight Game
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.
After starting 0-for-5 from three in the first half, Utah bounced back to go 5-for-9 from beyond the arc in the second half. Deron Williams took over the role of hero the night after Paul Millsap dominated in Miami. Williams finished with 30 points and 14 assists.
Dwight Howard scored 14 points but turned the ball over six times and finished only 4-for-11 from the line. Vince Carter lead Orlando with 20 points.
