Two months ago, the Jazz lost their home opener in heartbreaking fashion, with one of the rare players they didn’t bring back from last season’s roster — Jonas Jerebko — flying in for the game-winning tip-in, as the reigning champion Warriors prevailed 124-123.
“We’re gonna keep getting better — it’s just one game,” he said. “They came out ready tonight, we came out ready. We had enough great things to look at, and a lot of things were not as great. But we’re gonna get better from that.”
But, with the Warriors returning to Vivint Smart Home Arena on Wednesday night, it’s fair to wonder if that has actually been the case.
