When Utah took down San Antonio on Monday night without star Donovan Mitchell, it was because the defense turned in a sensational performance.
Come Wednesday night versus Portland again without Mitchell, it was the offense that flourished this time.
Led by six players who scored 15 points or more, the Jazz beat the shorthanded Blazers 120-105, their eighth straight road victory.
“I thought we adjusted as the game went on,” head coach Quin Snyder said. “I think that we’re getting better. … We’re going to continue to find out if we can be as effective on the road in the month of January.
