The Utah Jazz were just looking to snap a two-game losing streak.
They broke a 43-year-old franchise record along the way.
The team’s 154-105 win over the Sacramento Kings set a new franchise record for most points in a game, topping the 153 scored by the New Orleans Jazz in April of 1978. The 49-point win was also the largest margin of victory in franchise history.
The Jazz had eight players reach double-digits in scoring. And they did it all without All-Star guards Donovan Mitchell (ankle) and Mike Conley (hamstring).
“I don’t think I’ve ever seen a 150 on the board before,” said Jazz forward Georges Niang, who got the third start of his career and scored 19 points.
