Spurs at Jazz, Live in the Fourth: Utah Leads San Antonio 98-97 With 6:25 Left in Salt Lake City
Texas's NBA nightcap is coming down to the last six minutes. The short-handed Utah Jazz lead the San Antonio Spurs 98-97 with 6:25 left in the fourth quarter at the Delta Center — a one-point game after San Antonio erased a ten-point first-quarter deficit.
The San Antonio Spurs' night in Salt Lake City has narrowed to a single point and the last six minutes. Utah leads San Antonio 98-97 with 6:25 left in the fourth quarter at the Delta Center, in the live match feed read by the Sports Desk as this file was staged.
The game has swung by quarters. Utah took the first 32-22 behind its home crowd; San Antonio answered with the middle two quarters, 29-23 and 34-30, to pull the game level in feel by the fourth; and the fourth itself has been traded nearly evenly, Utah edging it 13-12 so far to hold the one-point lead.
Utah is doing it short-handed. Star forward Jaren Jackson Jr. is out six to eight weeks with a torn MCL suffered on Monday, and starting center Jusuf Nurkic is also on the injured list, Sports Illustrated reported. San Antonio, the defending Western Conference champion at 2-2, is playing the second night of a back-to-back after beating Sacramento on Tuesday.
This is a live file: the game was in progress when this story was staged, and no result is claimed. The Sports Desk will file the result after the final buzzer.
