The Utah Jazz return home tonight as they welcome in the Chicago Bulls to EnergySolutions Arena at 7:00 PM. The Utah Jazz come into the game with a record of 5-9 while the Chicago Bulls are 8-5. The Bulls are 6-2 on the road this year with those 2 losses being their last 2 games.
The Utah Jazz are looking to bounce back after losing their last 2 games to the Golden State Warriors and the New Orleans Pelicans. All 5 starters for the Utah Jazz are averaging double figures led by Gordon Hayward’s 19.1 points per game. Derrick favors is leading the team in rebounds (8.4 per game) and blocks (1.6 per game), while Trey Burke is averaging 5.5 assists to lead the team in that category.
The Bulls are another team that will provide a challenge for the Jazz as they have been playing fairly decent this year. The Jazz will need to play as a team tonight and make sure they are not forcing passes that will create turnovers. Trey Burke will need to have a solid game tonight for the Jazz passing the ball as well as scoring.
The media was able to catch up with Utah Jazz Head Coach Quin Snyder and rookie Dante Exum after shootaround this morning. Here is that audio:
