Summary

Except for last year’s lockout-shortened season, the NBA schedule-makers have sent the Utah Jazz on a long road trip to the East Coast in mid-November every year since 2001.

JAZZ NOTES: The Jazz are 23-8 all-time against Toronto, which is their best record against any team in the NBA. ... Last year, the Jazz lost their only meeting with the Raptors, 111-106 in double overtime in Salt Lake City. ... The Jazz haven’t lost in Toronto since the 2004 season. ... Toronto’s only victory came against Minnesota a week ago. That was the Timberwolves’ only loss until a defeat at Chicago Saturday night. ... If Williams, who leads the Jazz with a 16.4 ppg average, isn’t able to play because of the strained right abductor that kept him out Saturday, Tinsley will get the start again. ... The next home game for the Jazz is Nov. 19 against Houston. ... Toronto comes to Utah on Dec. 7.
