The Utah Jazz gave Joe Ingles a wonderful birthday present as they start the preseason 1-0 easily beating the NBL Sydney Kings 108-83. Starting out the 1st quarter the Utah Jazz got out to a big lead through alley oops to Rudy Gobert and hot shooting from Rodney Hood.
Joe Ingles and Dante Exum looked great playing a team from their home country. Joe Ingles played great defense while showing that irrational confidence that made him so much fun to watch last season. Dante Exum continues to display his improvement as he easily can get to the hoop and find the open man as he forces the defense to collapse on him during his drives.
