Through 3 Quarters

Only one more quarter stands between the Utah Jazz and the win they were favored to collect going into this night. Three quarters in and their offense has really been able to impose its will, dominating the San Antonio Spurs 76-66.

The top scorer for Utah has been shooting guard Donovan Mitchell (18 points). San Antonio has been relying on the performance of power forward Zach Collins, who has 15 points along with five boards.

the Spurs have lost 100% of the time when they were down heading into the fourth quarter this season, so this one seems just about wrapped up

What to Know

The Utah Jazz and the San Antonio Spurs are even-steven against one another since December of 2015 (12-12), but not for long. The Jazz will head out on the road to face off against San Antonio at 8:30 p.m. ET on Friday at AT&T Center. Utah won’t have the home-court advantage, but they do enjoy a 5.5-point advantage in the spread.

On Wednesday, Utah really took it to the Portland Trail Blazers for a full four quarters, racking up a 123-85 win at home. The contest was pretty much decided by the half, when the score had already reached 63-35. Utah’s small forward Bojan Bogdanovic looked sharp as he shot 6-for-9 from downtown and finished with 27 points.

Meanwhile, San Antonio received a tough blow on Wednesday as they fell 119-104 to the Toronto Raptors. San Antonio’s loss came about despite a quality game from point guard Dejounte Murray, who almost posted a triple-double on 25 points, 12 dimes, and nine boards.

The Jazz are expected to win this handily, but they should have beaten the Houston Rockets Jan. 19 easily too and instead slipped up with a 116-111. In other words, don’t count the Spurs out just yet.
