After taking a pass from Eric Paschall, Bogdanovic pump faked a return pass to Paschall before hitting his second three of the first half and bringing the Jazz with two at 56-54.
Without guard Trent Forrest and all-star teammates Rudy Gobert and Mike Conley, it was inevitable that more would be asked of the hot shooting forward but Bogdanovic has proven to be up to the test through nearly two quarters of play.
