The Utah Jazz prevailed quite easily in their first preseason game of the 2019-20 season as they took on the Adelaide 36ers of Australia’s NBL.

The Utah Jazz took care of business in undeniable fashion when they took on the Adelaide 36ers from Australia’s NBL on Saturday evening. Though the game began somewhat closely contested as the Jazz looked to get their legs beneath them, they closed out the first quarter on a big run to go up 28-18 heading into the second.

They didn’t look back from there as that ended up being the most closely contested quarter en route to a commanding 133-81 victory.

Obviously, in a win that lopsided, there were far more positives to be taken away than negatives as the Jazz cruised to a win over a team that was far inferior to them. Nevertheless, there were still a lot of really good takeaways to observe from the contest on both ends of the spectrum.

I’ll be breaking down each of those right here, beginning with the good, then moving on to the bad and the ugly.

Fortunately, the first category has the most to discuss and, above all, the good news is that Saturday’s game marked the return of Utah Jazz basketball for what has become one of the most highly-anticipated seasons in team history.
