Tonight at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, the Washington Wizards and Utah Jazz engage in the epic grudge match the world has been waiting for. The two teams fought? competed?...well...something to win the top pick in this year’s draft.
The Jazz tanked less ethically — sitting 23-year-old Walker Kessler repeatedly for “rest,” and then — when the league imposed a fine and ordered Utah to stop sitting healthy players — letting Kessler jack up threes despite there existing no evidence of competence.
Utah “won” by finishing with the NBA’s worst record but failed in their quest to get the first pick.
