It might not seem to make sense, but somehow the Jazz (10-11) found a way to keep an edge against the struggling Nuggets on Tuesday night at Vivint Smart Home Arena, pounding them in a 106-77 blowout for their second win in two meetings this season.
Even without several key players from the teams’ first meeting in the season opener, the Jazz took a similar route to victory. Without their top rim-protector and their leading scorer, they blew Denver off the court in a runaway second half — a 30-point advantage in the end.
