SAN ANTONIO -- Already listed as one of ESPN's schedule alert matchups, the Utah Jazz's meeting Saturday night with the San Antonio Spurs could be even more difficult given the travel issues they experienced on the way to the second outing of a back-to-back.
After their 129-97 win Friday night against the Suns, the Jazz's plane was forced to turn around and return to Phoenix due to mechanical issues. The team sat on the apron for hours, before it was able to switch planes at approximately 2 a.m. PT.
The Jazz didn't make it into the team hotel until close to 6 a.
