Well, Game 1 of their second-round NBA playoffs series didn't go so well for the Utah Jazz. They lost to Golden State by a dozen points; they never led; and the outcome never seemed in doubt.
And the Warriors are at home for Game 2 (8:30 p.m., ESPN).
TNT's Kevin McHale, who worked Game 1, tried to offer Jazz fans some hope. But not much hope.
"I think Utah will find a way to make these games competitive," he said, "and, hopefully, try and win a couple."
I'm sure Utah fans hope the Jazz will try to win more than a couple of games in this seven game series, right? With an emphasis on the word "try."
