Jazz 83, Wizards 76

Posted November 17, 2012 on AP on Fox
PLAYERS: Al Jefferson,  Jordan Crawford
TEAMS: Utah Jazz,  Washington Wizards
Al Jefferson scored 21 points, Gordon Haywood added 15 in his first game as a reserve this season, and the Utah Jazz kept the Washington Wizards winless with an 83-76 victory on Saturday night. The Jazz committed 19 turnovers but pulled away in the fourth quarter while closing a four-game road trip with a sloppy performance - and got away with it because they were playing the Wizards. Washington became only the second team in NBA history to start 0-8 in back-to-back seasons. Jordan Crawford scored 20 points for the Wizards. --- Follow Joseph White on Twitter: http://twitter.com/JGWhiteAP
