On April 26, Beijing time, when the Jazz, as the second team in the league to average 14.5 three-pointers per game in the regular season, averaged 8 three-pointers per game and 27.8% of the outside crosshairs in the playoffs were at the bottom of the playoffs, becoming an important factor for the Jazz to fall behind 2-3. In the G5 game, the Jazz lost 77-102 to the Lone Rangers, and not only did they score only 77 points in the whole game, but the Jazz's poor outside three-point shooting was even more miserable. In this campaign, the Jazz only had 2 of 17 three-pointers in the first half, and 3 of 30 from three points in the whole game, creating two humiliating records with a low outside shooting rate of 10%, while the team that lost the battle of Tennoyama finally advanced to the final probability of only 17.9%.
First, the Jazz scored 3 of 30 three-pointers, with only 10% of the outside line, creating a record for at least 25 three-point shots in a single game in the NBA playoff history, and the worst shooting percentage on the outside.
Second, the Jazz shot at least 20 worst three-point shooting percentages in a single game, including the regular season and playoffs, as low as 30 shots in the entire team's history.
You know, the Jazz hit an average of 14.5 three-pointers per game in the regular season, second only to the Timberwolves averaging 14.8 three-pointers per game, ranking second in the league, but the Playoff Jazz averaged 8 three-pointers per game, ranking at the bottom of the 16 teams in the playoffs, and the three-point crosshairs were at the bottom of 27.8%, reflecting the Jazz's current dilemma.
In the crucial Battle of Tennosan, the away Jazz were completely suppressed by the Lone Rangers, who were once behind by 33 points in the middle of the third quarter, and were again pulled apart by 30+ in the second half of the final quarter, and finally lost by 25 points.
The Jazz's rout stemmed from a complete collapse outside the three-point line, with them 2-of-17 on three-pointers in the first half and 13-of-13 in the second half, for a total of 30-of-30. The Jazz failed to find a crosshair across the team, with Mitchell 7-of-7 and Bogdanovic making 9-of-0 from the field, including 5-of-5 from three-pointers, Conley 3-of-0 from three-pointers, Clarkson 4-of-4 from three-pointers, O'Neal and Hernan Gomez 1-of-5 from three-pointers and House 1-of-1 from three-pointers.
In contrast, the Lone Rangers scored 12-of-43 three-pointers, with Its Middle East Cic, Smith and Bullock making layups, all hitting three three-pointers. The Jazz lost nine three-pointers 3-12 on three-pointers and lost 27 points in the outside game alone, which was also the root of the rout.
Even more tragically, Jazz core Mitchell retired from injury in the final quarter, and he left the court with a left hamstring strain and needed to return to Utah for further examination. Although Mitchell's post-game expression was not particularly serious and said he would defend the home court in G6, it was clear that the Jazz's playoff performance was not satisfactory.
According to the laws of NBA history, the team that loses the Battle of King Mountain has only a 17.9% chance of finally advancing, and there is no doubt that the Jazz are already in an extremely dangerous situation.
