Kings on a 19-3 run, and their lead is now 31-17. Jazz’s shooting selection has been pretty bad, which has contributed to them going 6-18 FGs. – 9:29 PM

For what I think is the first time this season, Jazz air a “Don’t Stand By” PSA before tip, asking fans to report hateful or discriminatory conduct by fellow fans.
Not sure if anything in particular triggered that. – 9:10 PM
