After the disastrous first quarter, the Pacers were 9-of-14 in the second and outscored the Jazz 30-25. It would have been worse, but Matthews scored on a three-point play with 37 seconds left in the half, then just beat the shot clock on a 3-pointer with three seconds remaining to give Utah a 57-44 halftime lead.
