Utah wins 106-100

It will be a difficult test for the Jazz, but overall Utah is the better team. They showed that in their match-up two weeks ago, and as long as they can get back to moving the ball effectively and knocking down the open three-point attempts that should generate, I just don’t think the Bucks will be able to keep up.

Milwaukee did not have to travel, but they did play in a hard-fought game last night against the Mavericks last night. So Utah will also have the rest advantage.

If the Big Three for the Bucks can put together another 80-point performance like last night it will be difficult, but I expect the Jazz to hold them in check and to come away with the victory tonight. This is the beginning of six consecutive games on the road for the Jazz, and it would be great to start off the trip with a victory.
