pickandroll.com.au
A slow start combined with the Utah Jazz's suffocating defence proved too much for the Sydney Kings in the first of the historic NBL/NBA crossover games, with the Kings falling 108-84 in Utah. New Sydney import Perry Ellis top scored for the tourists with 19 points. Todd Blanchfield added 8 points and 9 rebounds, Kevin Lisch chipped in with 13 points, while Jason Cadee had 14 off the bench. Despite this, Sydney were unable to overcome a sluggish first quarter that included five turnovers and several missed open looks, and saw them trailing by 19 points at the first break.
