SACRAMENTO — For the Utah Jazz it will be a dress rehearsal of sorts when they take on the Sacramento Kings Thursday night (8 p.m. MT) at Golden 1 Center.
You see, the Jazz will be playing the Kings less than a week later when the same two teams meet again on the same court Wednesday night in what will be the NBA regular-season opener for both teams.
The Jazz will be trying to go through preseason 5-0 for the second straight year after sweeping last year’s preseason games when they had two wins over Phoenix, one over the Clippers and two over foreign teams Sydney and Maccabi Haifa.
