If this season opener was any indicator, the 2015-16 Utah Jazz campaign should be one exciting, eventful season. With the Jazz visiting the Detroit Pistons, the game featured two teams looking to change their long-term fortunes. In a hard fought game, the Pistons came out on top 92-87.
Why the Jazz lost: Utah managed to stay right with Detroit for much of the evening on the road. But in a tight game, the little things stick out a bit more. The Jazz struggled from the perimeter, missed some crucial free throws and committed some defensive mistakes. Detroit made some key plays in the fourth quarter, capitalizing on Utah’s foibles.
