Spurs Lead the Jazz 73-61 in the Third Quarter as San Antonio Chases a Fifth Straight Win

San Antonio's fifth straight win is in reach, and Utah is still hanging around the edges of it. The Spurs led the Jazz 73-61 with 6:09 left in the third quarter at Frost Bank Center on Monday night, according to Sportradar's live match listing read at staging - the live state of the game this station previewed at SQ-20261102-059 before its 7:30 p.m. tip.

The shape of the night is in the quarters. San Antonio won the first 27-16, Utah answered by winning the second 33-32 to cut a double-digit lead to 59-49 at halftime, and the third quarter had gone 14-12 to the Spurs at the last read. The final plays on Sportradar's listing were a Lauri Markkanen three-pointer, assisted by Ace Bailey, that made it 73-61 at 6:31, and a shooting foul drawn by Dylan Harper at 6:09.

Utah arrived short-handed in the frontcourt - Jaren Jackson Jr. and Jusuf Nurkic both out, as the pregame file recorded - and at 1-5 with little margin for a comeback on the road. San Antonio, 4-2 and winners of four straight, needs to close a game it has led since the first quarter.

No final is claimed here - the game was in the third quarter at this file's last read. The result files on the next production cycle.
