PHILADELPHIA — The Utah Jazz didn’t use the three-wing lineup they experimented with this preseason very much in Wednesday’s season-opener, but that group played well together in the short time it was assembled.
Because of Raul Neto’s injury situation, the Jazz might have no other option than to give extended minutes to the effective combo that includes multiple playmakers but no actual point guards.
