Plenty went awry in the final few moments. But there was one with 9:59 remaining that proved pivotal as well: Mike Conley picking up his fifth foul and having to come out of the game.

Kelly Olynyk To the center’s point, in the minutes preceding that call, Conley had helped Utah erase an eight-point deficit and surge ahead. A pair of free throws, a 3-pointer, assisting on a triple by Rudy Gay, assisting on a Walker Kessler dunk, and then burying another 3, one which gave the Jazz their very first lead of the game, at 94-91.
Conley was particularly aggrieved by his third personal, a tripping foul against Kings star Domantas Sabonis at the 7:30 mark of the third quarter, whistled by official Evan Scott.
