And holding the Jazz scoreless in the last few minutes could be a season changer. To know they could play a good team and do this without two of their best players is huge. So many collapses in so many games created a need for this kind of crux moment.

I am most excited to see how dynamic our roster is when everyone is back. This could still be an amazing year.

I was about ready to turn it off when they went up 5. Figured it was over. I wonder what the percent chance of winning down 5 in OT is.

The ESPN number was around 85% chance of win for Jazz but that does not take into account how many games we have lost in the clutch.

This morning I showed my 5 year old the picture of him with the team for the national anthem. He did not know the names but said he stood in front of the best player. Sure enough, it was BI. Even a 5 year old can see how great a player he is.

Yes, we were above 80 percent for the game before the OT. Winning and still having things to improve on can be a good thing and making free throws to close out games is a necessity.

I felt the refs got REALLY tight with the whistles really quick in OT.

Royce O'Neale committed three fouls in a 30 second span. I think after the colossal frick up(s) to end the game and the deafening "REF YOU SUCK" chant, they chose safety over integrity.

It was a mind boggling bad call. Makes you wonder if that ref had a desired outcome.

With .2 seconds I cannot recall seeing a call like that made unless someone hit the floor or drew blood. It is like making a PI call on a 70 yard hail mary on incidental contact.

It’s the kind of win that can galvanize a team and fanbase. That had the intensity of a playoff game.
