It’s imperative that the Utah Jazz ‘Minivan’ keeps vrooming away from home.
Former second-round pick Georges Niang is the only bench player who has appeared in every game thus far across the Utah Jazz’s league-leading 44-15 campaign.
And on Wednesday night in an eventual 112-89 win at the Houston Rockets (15-44), the fifth-year pro out of Iowa State helped to ensure early on that the two teams’ records would remain exact opposites.
With a splash from 26 feet out at the buzzer to end the first quarter, Niang gave the Jazz a 34-27 advantage.
