The host Jazz ran away from the Spurs after the opening tip and was not seriously threatened after that. Utah rode a healthy advantage from 3-point range and rebounds in the blowout win. San Antonio appeared flat-footed throughout and was worse for the wear in this latest onslaught of games and particularly after three overtime games in a week.
San Antonio was bolstered by leading efforts from its rested stars - DeMar DeRozan (22 points, 6 assists, and 3 steals), Dejounte Murray (15 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists) and Rudy Gay (17 points and 7 rebounds). After some stellar scoring efforts recently, the offense sputtered to 5-for-18 from distance.
