QUARTER-BY-QUARTER ANALYSIS
The First: Jazz 23, Spurs 19
The Jazz start slow, hitting just 1 of their initial 6 shots. Paul Millsap gets Utah going, though, and the Jazz take a 12-10 lead on a Jeremy Evans tip-in. San Antonio isn’t the same without the Big Three.
The Second: Jazz 47, Spurs 44
A three-point play by Enes Kanter pushes Utah to a 26-19 lead. But Gary Neal guides San Antonio on a 10-4 run, and the Spurs finally start to click. Gordon Hayward steps up late in the half.

The Third: Spurs 68, Jazz 64
Devin Harris picks up his game and Utah stretches its advantage to 55-50. But Danny Green, Kawhi Leonard and Patty Mills start making Gregg Popovich look like a genius.

A pull-up 3-pointer by Matt Bonner gives San Antonio a seven-point lead, and it’s 75-67 Spurs with 8:15. An 8-0 Harris-led Utah run follows, and Millsap closes down the game.
