That’s how Utah Jazz head coach Quin Snyder put it.
After building up an 18-point lead over the New York Knicks on Wednesday night, the Jazz left Madison Square Garden frustrated and disappointed, on the wrong end of a double-digit scoreline.
“We came out strong and we were playing the right way,” Snyder said after the 112-100 defeat. “We were defending and then we lost our focus. That’s squarely where it has to be. To me, it’s a question of focus.”
After getting blitzed early in Brooklyn, the Jazz looked to be off to another cold start in the Garden. The team connected on just three of their first 14 attempts on Wednesday night. Then things started falling. The Jazz hit 11 of their next 12 shots to build up a double-digit lead early in the second quarter.
