Nets Surprise Utah Jazz With 98-96 Victory

SALT LAKE CITY — So far, a beast of a road trip is turning out just fine for the Brooklyn Nets.

And the Utah Jazz?

They might be relieved to hit the road after back-to-back disappointing results.

Forward Thaddeus Young scored 21 points and center Brook Lopez had 19 as the Nets surprised the Jazz for a 98-96 road win on Saturday night.

The Jazz had an opportunity to win the game after Nets guards Wayne Ellington and Donald Sloan missed late free throws.

However, Brooklyn sneaked out of Vivint Arena with a win after Jazz guard Joe Ingles missed a potential game-winning 3-point attempt at the buzzer.
