Jan 9, 2019, 8:10 PM
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – The Utah Jazz went cold in the fourth quarter of their loss to Milwaukee and that coldness carried over to a miserable first quarter against Orlando.
After mustering just 16 points in the fourth quarter of the 114-102 loss to the Bucks on Monday, the Jazz managed just 19 points in the first on 33.3 percent shooting versus the Magic on Wednesday. They also attempted just five 3-pointers and made only two from downtown.

Donovan Mitchell had another poor quarter offensively and shot just 1-for-5 for two points in the period. He went 0-for-5 in the final quarter against Milwaukee and was held scoreless in the period.
Though the 19 points wasn’t a season low for points in the quarter – there was that nine point quarter in the 50-point loss to the Mavericks – the Jazz came dangerously close to setting a new season low. Though the first nine minutes of the quarter, the Jazz were held to just seven points and trailed by as much as 21.
