Jazz owner to fans: Other teams aren't enemies

Utah Jazz owner Gail Miller addressed the crowd before Thursday's game to underscore the team's willingness to enforce the NBA's Code of Conduct following Monday's incident involving Russell Westbrook and a fan who crossed the line.

Miller spoke for about three-and-a-half minutes before the Jazz faced the Minnesota Timberwolves and asked fans to look out for potential repeats of the shouting match that led Utah to issue Shane Keisel a lifetime ban.

"I am extremely disappointed that one of our quote 'fans' conducted himself in such a way as to offend not only a guest in our arena, but also me personally, my family, our organization, the community, our players and you, as the best fans in the NBA," Miller said.
