SALT LAKE CITY — Practice time is valuable in the NBA.

After a weeklong, four-game road trip, the Utah Jazz returned to Vivint Arena Wednesday for their second win in three games against the struggling Chicago Bulls.

Jazzmen enjoyed their Thanksgiving Day off Thursday with family before returning to practice Friday with an upbeat attitude.

“We’ve had quite a schedule just being on the road and coming back having a game,” said Jazz coach Quin Snyder.
