The red-hot Detroit Pistons entered Friday night’s contest against the Utah Jazz looking to continue their dominant west coast road trip, but came up short, 131

For the first time in years, the Jazz beat a team at the top of an NBA conference. Was this a glimpse into the team's future?

The San Antonio Spurs, riding an eight-game regular-season winning streak, are preparing to face the Utah Jazz at home.

The Utah Jazz sent a clear message after stamping a second-straight win in the books against the San Antonio Spurs.

The Detroit Pistons fell 131-129 Friday night to the Utah Jazz. Keyonte George scored 31 points and hit a floater in the lane with 2.1 seconds remaining for Utah, who snapped a four-game losing streak.

When Isaiah Collier took a hard bump to the shoulder and needed to get checked out by the Jazz’s medical team, Clayton subbed in and made an immediate impact, scoring 11 of his 17 points in the second quarter, helping the Jazz go on a run that gave them a 70-60 lead at half time.

Last time the Jazz matched up against this team, it resulted in a 103-114 loss, and an impressive 31-point outing from Cade Cunningham on the other side. Time will tell if Utah can flip the script to get on the right side of things and avoid an 0-2 season series sweep.

San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama will return to the starting lineup Saturday night against the Utah Jazz, but point guard De'Aaron Fox will miss the game after experiencing tightness in his left adductor.
