- SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah Jazz are ready for their famously loud hometown crowd tonight.
The fans are still talking about Dante Exum’s slam dunk late in Game 2 that sealed the Jazz’s 116-108 win over the Houston Rockets. That tied the best-of-seven series at 1-1.
Hopefully, the Jazz will ride that wave in front of their loud hometown crowd in Game 3 at 8:30 tonight against the Rockets.
But Exum tells UtahJazz.com he’s got a difficult night ahead of him; he’s guarding star forward James Harden again.

“When you’re going up against someone like that, just disrupt him as much as possible, and make life frustrating,” Exum said.
The Rockets promise tighter defense tonight.
