SACRAMENTO — Quin Snyder playfully went along when asked why his team didn’t just spend the next few days in Sacramento since the Jazz will be playing here again next week for their season opener.

“We’ve got too many guys with little kids,” he said. “We’d also have some unhappy wives . . . mine included.”

Derrick Favors, the longest-tenured Jazz player, echoed his coach, saying, “I’m sure Sacramento has a lot to offer, but for me personally I want to get back home and see my family and my kids.
