In preseason game number one, the Utah Jazz stuck it to the Perth Wildcats of Australia’s NBL. A shorthanded and undersized lineup was overwhelmed by Utah as the clearly more talented squad ran away with a 130-72 victory.
In the second game of preseason, the Jazz faced stiffer competition against the Toronto Raptors. At halftime, Toronto looked to be in control as they took a nine-point lead into the break. However, with Kyle Lowry and Kawhi Leonard out of action for the second half, the Jazz battled back to win in convincing fashion 105-90.
