SALT LAKE CITY – Utah Jazz guard Brice Sensabaugh made sure his presence was felt in the second quarter against the San Antonio Spurs.
After playing a total of 13 minutes over the last six games, the guard got an opportunity to play on the road and exploded for 13 points in just eight first half minutes.
Sensabaugh showed off his offensive repertoire knocking down three three-pointers, and two layups to help the Jazz build a 16 point halftime lead.

Jazz coach Will Hardy had used Sensabaugh only once in the team’s last five games, playing the second-year guard 10 minutes in the Jazz’s loss to the Phoenix Suns on November 12.
With sixth-man Jordan Clarkson ruled out before the game due to plantar fasciitis, the team turned to Sensabaugh midway through the first half.
