NBA Playoffs 2019: Houston Rockets vs. Utah Jazz Game 5 live stream: Watch online
By Ian Levy
The Utah Jazz finally got their sea legs but they’ll still be facing elimination in Game 5 against the Houston Rockets. Here’s how you can watch.
Donovan Mitchell had a sparkling 31-points on 26 shots in Game 4 to help save the Utah Jazz from elimination. The fact that this performance only brought his shooting averages up to 35.6 percent from the field and 32.4 percent on 3-pointers, and that he still has more turnovers than assists in the series tells you just how much he struggled in Utah’s three losses to open the series.
If Utah is going to stay alive and force a Game 6 at home, they’ll need Mitchell to be at least as good (and hopefully, better) than he was in Game 4 and they’ll also need the rest of their supporting cast to pick it up. As a team, they have had 84 3-point attempts in this series with no defender within six feet of the shooter. They’ve made exactly 19 (22.6 percent). If Joe Ingles and Jae Crowder can’t hit 3s to stretch Houston’s defense, things could get ugly in a hurry.
At the other end, Houston will be looking to get James Harden back on track. They survived a terrible 3-of-30 shooting performance from him in Game 3. He bounced back with 30 points in the Game 4 loss but had a series-low 4 assists combined with 8 turnovers.
Below is everything you’ll need to watch Game 5.
