Just 40 seconds into the game and the Jazz scoring just five points, Spurs head coach Greg Popovich called a timeout.
The Jazz won the opening tipoff when Joe Ingles made a floater in the lane to put them up 2-0. Spurs guard Dejounte Murray turned the ball over, which turned into a three-pointer for Royce O’Neale. After the three, Popovich immediately called a timeout.
