Game Notes

The Jazz haven't opened a season 0-3 in 32 years, but must be Philadelphia to avoid that dubious mark. … Playing at home should be an advantage, but Utah closed the season losing 12 of their final 16 contests at ESA (21-20 for the season.) … The Jazz play 15 of their next 20 games at home and don't have back-to-back road games until Feb. 6-7.
