Brice Sensabaugh Helps Keep Jazz Competitive Against Timberwolves

The Timberwolves were missing all three of their best players against the Jazz.

Because of this, Utah was able to shoot out of the gates to an early lead. However, the veteran presence was still there for Minnesota and they were able to come all the way back.

Collin Sexton and John Collins, both of whom returned from injury on Friday, combined for 18 of Utah’s 38 first-quarter points. Sensabaugh was the only other player to score more than six points.

Minnesota shot a blistering hot 64 percent from the floor and also didnt turn the ball over once compared to four turnovers from the Jazz.

Even with the notable absences, Utah trailed 40-38 going into the second quarter.
