What to expect when a sub-400 Spurs team travels to take on, as they’ve often been called, “a regular-season win machine” like the Utah Jazz in December, at altitude in front of that notoriously noisy Salt Lake City crowd where visitors get blown out and hopes for pulling out a close win go to die? Well, not that much, to be honest.
Going into the game, what I was most interested in was: How will the Spurs’ starters do against the Jazz’ starters? Because, with a bit of fantasy, the Spurs’ starting five is a bit like the Jazz’ starting five — at least in an embryonic state.
