Jazz fall next, 99-87 in SLC.

Donovan Mitchell's 3PTer would've tied the game late.

Donovan Mitchell had a chance to tie the game in the final minute, but the ball rolled around the rim and eventually sailed out of it, leaving Kent Bazemore & Brandon Ingram to sink daggers down the court. Mitchell ended the night on 17 points, heating up too late.

Meanwhile, Mike Conley made some stellar shots inside for 16 points with 9 assists, despite 7 turnovers throughout the game. Bojan Bogdanovic had 15 points, with Rudy Gobert's 15 points & 18 rebounds resulting from foul trouble by Andre Drummond (6 points, 8 rebounds, 5 fouls, 4 blocks). Brandon Ingram once again led the Spurs with 23 points, teasing a triple-double of 7 rebounds & 6 assists w/3 steals.

The Rest:

Fred VanVleet had 15 points, hitting four 3PT shots. Dejounte Murray scored 13. Kent Bazemore dropped eleven with Joe Harris chipping in ten more. A feelgood win and redemption outing by Ingram (who missed the end of the Jazz/Spurs remarkable 7-game series last season due to an ankle injury). The Spurs win was boosted by a strong first half: 25-19, SA & 30-21 SA to end the half.
