Sure, the dismal Sacramento Kings, who haven’t qualified for the playoffs since 2006, have a habit of making opposing teams look good. But there’s still no denying that the Utah Jazz appeared as if they were a completely different team than they were previously in Saturday’s dominant win.
The defense was on display in full force as they held Sacramento to a meager 81 points and the offense fired on all cylinders as the Jazz posted 113 points of their own in a game that was essentially over at halftime and certainly over well before the fourth quarter got underway.
