Utah Jazz Remain Winless In Denver, Fall To Nuggets In Blowout

DENVER – The Utah Jazz still have yet to get in the win column after starting their four-game road trip in the Mile High City against the Denver Nuggets on Saturday.

Walker Kessler led the team in scoring and was dominant against Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets with 18 points, 14 rebounds, and five blocks.

With the 129-103 loss, Utah now has an average loss margin of over 18 points through six games. They will travel to Chicago next to face the Bulls on Monday, November 4.

I don’t think Keyonte George is taking enough shots inside the arc.

Even though he’s a reasonable 3-9 tonight from three, he’s 2-3 on 2-point shots.

He’s 12-22 over the last 3.5 games. Seems like a good way to build some confidence or get to the free-throw line.

With 4:32 left in the third the @utahjazz trail the @nuggets 84-68.

Jazz have kept it close most of the night, but will have to win the non-Jokic minutes big in the second half to avoid a blowout. #TakeNote pic.twitter.com/6swMOuFdSr
