West Conf. Semis, Game 2: Utah Jazz 116-108 Houston Rockets - 5 Talking Points

#2 Joe Ingles shines

Donovan Mitchell, Joe Ingles, and James Harden

With Donovan Mitchell having a rare off game, up stepped Joe Ingles with a career-night. Ingles scored 27 points, hitting 10/13 shots and 7/9 from beyond the arc. Ingles has had a coming out party in these playoffs and he continued his hot streak. The 7 3s were also a career high and Utah needed every one of them down the stretch. He hit the dagger 3 with 4 minutes remaining, which put Utah up by 12 and all but killed the game.

The Jazz hadn't won a game in the playoffs when Mitchell hadn't been the top scorer, and Quin Snyder would be pleased to see Ingles step up. He had plenty of help too. Alec Burks had 17 off the bench and Jae Crowder chipped in with 15 points and 10 rebounds. If the Jazz can actually get this kind of production from these guys consistently, they might actually pull off the biggest playoff upset we've seen in a while.
