Jazz Fall to Spurs in Overtime as Sensabaugh, Clayton Make Cases

Utah used the road preseason game to evaluate young lineups while several regulars rested.

Overview

  • San Antonio edged Utah 134-130 in overtime after the Jazz rallied from a 17-point deficit to force the extra period.
  • Brice Sensabaugh scored a team-high 26 points on 6-of-13 shooting and 12-of-12 free throws, bringing his preseason average to 25 points through two games.
  • Rookie Walter Clayton Jr. added 20 points with five assists, five rebounds and only two turnovers in a more assertive outing.
  • Coach Will Hardy said Clayton simplified decisions and leveraged his shooting to draw defensive pressure and open up the rest of his game.
  • Lauri Markkanen and Walker Kessler were among the inactive Jazz regulars, and Utah now returns home to face the Mavericks on Monday and the Trail Blazers on Thursday.
