SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH – Utah Jazz forward Joe Ingles had a terrific game Tuesday night against the Toronto Raptors, scoring 24 points on 8-for-15 shooting with five 3-pointers made.
That said, he only made one of his first five 3-point attempts before knocking down four of his next six tries from downtown. Postgame, KSL Sports asked the Australian native how he was able to keep shooting when the shots weren’t falling at first.
Collinsworth Gets Start For Raptors
Former BYU and Provo High star Kyle Collinsworth got the start for the Raptors in his home state. Some were very excited to see the local in action, others outside the Beehive State weren’t so enthused.
When a Provo High graduate starts in an NBA game, I’m contractually obligated to hype it. https://t.co/ge9szvMCkF
