Utah Jazz keep pace in Western Conference with tough win over pesky Sacramento Kings

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — It’s not often you can say it was a good night for both teams in an NBA basketball game, but both Utah and Sacramento went home happy Saturday night, even if the Kings would never admit it.

For the Jazz, they kept up with the pack in the race for the Western Division’s final playoff spot as they improved to 33-30 on the season with a 98-91 victory at the Golden One Center. For the Kings, they played hard and kept it close most of night, but dropped to 19-44 and stayed back with the worst teams in the NBA, who are bunched up at the bottom of the standings.
