The Roundup—Jazz 106, Nuggets 96

Utah's 2017-18 season opened with a bang as the Jazz caught fire in the second half to nail down a 106-96 come-from-behind victory over the Denver Nuggets in Salt Lake City.

The Jazz fell behind by as many as 15, but they hung around ... and hung around ... and hung around—until they took over down the stretch. Utah outscored Denver 28-13 in the fourth quarter.

Rudy Gobert had a team-high 18 points as six Jazz players scored in double figures (with three more scoring at least six points). Alec Burks scored 16 points in 15 minutes off the bench, while Derrick Favors had 14 and Joe Johnson had 13.
