Utah cut the lead to 104-98 with 6:29 to play but couldn’t get any closer.Jazz: G Malik Beasley was able to witness the birth of a baby since Utah’s last game on Wednesday in Atlanta. “The travel schedule in the NBA sometimes puts a lot of people in some weird situations as it relates to family,” coach Will Hardy said.
Wizards: Coach Wes Unseld Jr said that he doesn’t expect Beal to play on Sunday. “He’s out of protocol, which is a positive. He’s missed five or six days, so there’s some concern with his conditioning. He’s going to work out and get a ramp up before we throw him out there.” … Porzingis returned after missing Thursday’s game against Dallas with a strained left groin.
