SALT LAKE CITY — It’s difficult to learn much from NBA preseason games, particularly ones against overmatched international teams.
Nearly a week after demolishing the Perth Wildcats by 58 points, the Utah Jazz cruised past the Adelaide 36ers Friday night at Vivint Arena by 30 points — 129-99 — and did it with one hand tied behind their back as the starters sat out for the entire second half and Rudy Gobert sat out the whole game so he could “rest.”
So what did we learn Friday night, besides the fact that the Jazz should probably just schedule one game against an Australian professional team per season?
