217: I will lead you forward (asking for monthly tickets!)_3

This open letter was personally written by Jerry Sloan, who then printed a copy for everyone.

This silver-haired old man, a lifelong tough bone, a fighter, poured all his emotions into this small envelope.

It indeed worked, as the Jazz team was rejuvenated and united once again.

They didn't want to lose to the same opponent twice.

Nor did they want to waste this once-in-a-decade championship opportunity.

So in Game 3 of the finals, the intensity and difficulty were greater than anyone had anticipated.

In Game 3, the Jazz's defense was better than in the first two games.

Roger only had 1 assist in the entire first half, almost as if it were a flashback to 1993.

Had Roger again turned off his passing game? Not really, Roger passed a lot of good balls, but none resulted in assists because whenever outside shots were fired, the Jazz's interference was immediately in place.
