HILL AIR FORCE BASE — Most years, the Utah Jazz have held their season-opening scrimmage at their home arena for their regular fans. Last year they broke tradition and went to Granger High School where they had a surprise scrimmage for the student body in West Valley City.

This time they decided to go north and honor the military by playing at Hill Air Force Base, where some 500 servicemen and servicewomen and their families got a rare look at Utah's NBA basketball team.
