Jazz vs. 76ers
After their loss to the Celtics, the Jazz turned their attention to the Philadelphia 76ers who were also on the wrong side of a 128-92 blowout loss to the New York Knicks on Friday.
The 76ers own the third-best record in the Eastern Conference at 23-11, but are just 3-3 in their last six games.
Despite failing to break the 100-point mark against the Knicks, the 76ers have one of the league’s top offenses.
