Jazz cruise to easy win over Spurs

The difference is the Jazz have core building blocks for the future already and those core building blocks are still powering them to wins. Tonight, Lauri Markkanen and Walker Kessler showed why the Jazz view them as such important core pieces as they helped the Jazz pull away late from the Spurs, 118-102.
The Spurs got a double-digit lead in the first quarter and held it for most of the game, but when the Jazz buckled down in the 4th quarter they were able to pull away easily.
