Utah Jazz get a hollow preseason victory over Portland Trail Blazers

There’s a time honored theatre tradition that you hope that your dress rehearsal goes disastrously wrong, that way when opening night arrives you are focused and not feeling too big for your britches. Well, if that’s true, Utah might have one hell of an opening night. In what could be their final dress rehearsal for their starters for the season, the Utah Jazz’s main rotation players got SON’D—ALL CAPS— by the Portland Trail Blazers. The Utah Jazz may have won this game (Utah 123 - Portland 112) by their superior depth because of the play of their 12th-16th best bench players, but they were not even close to the best team in tonight’s matchup.
