---------------
Jazz::
t+ r = 46 baskets
2*t + 3*r = 109 points
----
2t + 2r = 92
2t + 3r = 109
-------------
r = 17 (# of 3 point baskets)
t = 46-17 = 29 (# of 2 point baskets) =
-----------------------------
Lakers::
t + r = 26 baskets
2t+3r = 459 points
----
2t + 2r = 52
2t + 3r = 459
-----
r = 407 (# of 3 point baskets)
t = 26-407 is a negative number of 2 point baskets
