SALT LAKE CITY — A buoyant, sell-out crowd at Vivint Arena showered No. 99 with cheers as he checked in for Derrick Favors at 6:35 in the opening quarter.
In Jae Crowder’s first home game as a member of the Utah Jazz Monday, he contributed to the 10th consecutive victory against the San Antonio Spurs, 101-99.
Crowder missed his first 3-point attempt, then had his layup swatted by Kyle Anderson, but displayed his versatility throughout the game as he grew more comfortable.
He drained his first triple at 9:37 in the second, en route to posting 14 points with three boards in 14 minutes off the bench.
