SALT LAKE CITY — Legendary Utah Jazz coach Jerry Sloan was in the building.
Jazz scholarship recipient Kamaria Smith also enjoyed a courtside seat while children recited the “I Have A Dream” speech in Vivint Arena Monday as the team returned from a four-game road trip to host the Indiana Pacers.
Although the overall atmosphere was polite on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, nothing was civil once the ball was tipped off.
It was all business as the Pacers pulled away with a 109-94 victory to hand the Jazz their fifth loss in the last six games.
