What happened: The Utah Jazz built an 18-point advantage earlier in the contest before seeing the entire margin erased to a 71-71 tie with the game still in progress.

Why it matters: Surrendering a large cushion mid-game forces Utah to execute under pressure down the stretch rather than managing the clock with a comfortable margin.

What to watch: Play continues from the 71-71 deadlock as the Jazz look to stabilize their defensive rotations and regain control of the scoreboard.
