Well, it was a franchise night for the Utah Jazz. Their franchise record 25 3-pointers would propel them to a victory Saturday night at Fiserv Forum, 131-118 over the Milwaukee Bucks.
Giannis Antetokounmpo was a strong force for the Bucks in the opening quarter with his 16 points, but Milwaukee still found themselves in the hole vs. the Jazz after one. The main separation factor? Utah’s 3-point shooting. They’d connect on nine threes, going 9-of-17 from beyond the arc. Despite Milwaukee’s 1-of-8 shooting from deep, they got things done in the paint, resulting in a 34-31 advantage for the Jazz going into the second.
