Jazz Suit Up In City Of Brotherly Love To Finish Season Series With 76ers
The Utah Jazz continue their east coast road trip tonight in Philadelphia as they close out their season series with the 76ers.
Coming into the matchup, the Jazz have lost four in a row as well as 11 straight on the road. Utah currently sits last in the Western Conference and is tied for the second-worst record in the NBA. It has been a disastrous season for the 76ers who had hopes of contending coming into the year. They have lost 12 of their last 13 games and are outside of the Eastern Conference playoff picture looking in.
The Jazz and Sixers last played in Delta Center just before the New Year. Philly escaped with a 114-111 win in Salt Lake City.
