SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – The Utah Jazz got off to a great start against the San Antonio Spurs and head coach Gregg Popovich wasn’t allowing the run to extend.
Just 40 seconds into the game and the Jazz scoring just five points, Spurs head coach Greg Popovich called a timeout.
The Jazz won the opening tipoff when Joe Ingles made a floater in the lane to put them up 2-0. Spurs guard Dejounte Murray turned the ball over, which turned into a three-pointer for Royce O’Neale. After the three, Popovich immediately called a timeout.
Time out @spurs 40 seconds into the game!
The @utahjazz are up 5-0 on some open looks and bad Spurs execution. #Takenote
