“They take pride in their defense right now. Rudy talked about it. We’ve talked about it. Defense travels. We’ve wanted to be a good road team, and that begins with playing good defense, and I think that’s what happened the last two nights.”
INDIANAPOLIS — Two words resonated with Quin Snyder, Rudy Gobert and the Utah Jazz as they opened the 2015-16 season away from home this past week.
Defense travels.
It wins too.
For the second straight night on the road, the Jazz demonstrated that principle in impressive fashion.
After a rough start Saturday, Utah roared back with a defensive masterpiece in the second half to spoil Halloween night for the Pacers' crowd with a 97-76 victory at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.
