Given the fact that the Utah Jazz have played as many (or more) road games as any team in the NBA, you can almost explain away the fact that the team is still under .500 nearly 20 games into the 2018-19 season.
On Wednesday, though, the Jazz showed that they’ve got more than just an unfavorable schedule to contend with.
Playing in their first home contest following a difficult five-game roadie, the Jazz hosted a Sacramento Kings squad that, despite having a strong opening month, seemingly provided a solid opportunity for Donovan Mitchell and company to pick up a win.
