First Quarter Action
Utah began with early resistance, as Lauri Markkanen opened the scoring with a 15-foot jumper. However, the Spurs quickly asserted themselves through balanced offense and free-throw accuracy. Devin Vassell converted three flagrant foul free throws to give San Antonio its first lead.
De'Aaron Fox hit a 23-foot three-pointer assisted by Victor Wembanyama, extending the Spurs' advantage. The home team’s momentum was fueled by contributions from multiple players, including a driving layup by Wembanyama and efficient shooting from Dylan Harper and Stephon Castle.
By the end of the quarter, San Antonio held a comfortable 27-16 lead, driven by their ability to score inside and at the free-throw line while limiting Utah’s scoring opportunities.
Second Quarter Continuation
The Jazz attempted to rally in the second period, with Markkanen hitting back-to-back 25-foot three-pointers to close the gap. Keldon Johnson provided a spark for San Antonio with a 24-foot three-pointer of his own. The half saw high-volume scoring from both sides, but the Spurs maintained their edge through consistent playmaking and timely baskets.
