Tonight, the Utah Jazz will take on the Pelicans in New Orleans. It’s a game that the Jazz (-7) should win easily under normal circumstances. Yet, considering the Jazz are playing their third game in four nights, all in different cities on the road. Thus, it could be a dangerous game for a road weary team. According to Coach Quin Snyder however, the Jazz are “not allowed to be tired.”
The Jazz, 2-1 on their current road trip, looked a little sluggish to start their last game in Orlando against the Magic. Nonetheless, the Jazz were able to avoid a two game losing streak with a strong third quarter and, as usual, a balanced effort with seven players scoring in double figures.
