Alex Jensen has always been a winner everywhere he’s been throughout his playing and coaching career. But on Wednesday night, it became official.
In front of a raucous Vivint Arena crowd, Jensen picked up the first win of his coaching career when he helped Utah take down mountain west rival Denver 108-104.
“He’s a little less intense,” Mike Conley said with a laugh postgame when asked about Jensen’s coaching style.
Jensen was named the acting head coach a few days ago when normal head coach Quin Snyder was ruled out due to health and safety protocols.
