The Utah Jazz are expected to be one of the worst teams in the NBA this season — but they certainly didn't look like it on opening night.
But, there is one thing that the Clippers do not have an abundance of — youth. It just so happens that’s the one thing the 2025-26 Jazz roster has in spades, so the Jazz went into the regular season opener with a very simple gameplan: Run the wheels off the old guys, and that they did to the tune of a 129-108 victory.
The Utah Jazz aren't exactly title contenders, but at least they’ll try to win when and what they can this year. That's a step in the right direction, Tribune columnist Gordon Monson writes.
Walker Kessler led the Utah Jazz to a surprising win over the LA Clippers on Wednesday night and made NBA history in the process.
