The Utah Jazz unveiled their new home court, complete with upgrades throughout the arena, in their preseason home-opener against the Spurs. Utah and San Antonio are both expected to be in the race for the best lottery odds this season, and the Jazz showed their tanking capabilities tonight. With Mike Conley on the bench for a scheduled rest, the Jazz relied on a lot of young guns.
The Spurs jumped out to an early lead behind strong play from Devin Vassell and Keldon Johnson. They kept pushing that lead larger throughout the game until the Jazz bench made a late 4th quarter push.
