Smart 10-foot pull-up from Ace Bailey. Got it right over Wemby for his first two.

De’Aaron Fox is off to a hot start against the Jazz with 10 of the Spurs’ first 16.
His season-high is 37.

The @spurs are red-hot from three, who open the game knocking down 5-6 from downtown.
They lead the @utahjazz 19-12 with seven minutes left in the first. #TakeNote pic.twitter.com/GUIuUynA2X

Now 10, a possession later.

After a foul on the drive from Stephon Castle, Kevin Love puts his arm around Keyonte George and gives some pointers.
The importance of vets can’t be overstated, even for Key, who’s playing at an All-Star level.

Ace Bailey checks back in with 2:13 left in the first quarter.
One of the better starts in his rookie year: 10 points on 4/4 shooting with an offensive rebound and an assist.
He’s finding his spots nicely and scoring in the flow of the offense. Fun to watch.
— Chandler Holt (@CHoltSports) January 23, 2026
Brice Sensabaugh just ended three straight Spurs possessions. Two rebounds and a steal.
That is exactly what you want to see him do night in and night out. The shot will always be there.

After one, the @utahjazz and @spurs are tied at 31.

Second Quarter
The Spurs open the second quarter on a 9-0 run, and Will Hardy calls timeout.
Doesn’t look particularly happy in the huddle.

Julian Champagnie just jumped entirely over Kyle Filipowski.
Flip pump faked with Champagnie behind him, and he just cleared him. Wild.

Just ignored every defender in front of him on the break and rose over the top for a right-handed tomahawk. https://t.co/0GrWmIDgk7

Really curious to see how he looks when he gets even stronger.

A poor close to the quarter from the @utahjazz who trail @spurs 97-92.
Regardless, the Jazz are very much in this one heading into the fourth quarter.#takenote pic.twitter.com/EU6M1ViPQY
