An up-and-down debut for Grayson Allen. A double-double for Tony Bradley. A dominant showing by Georges Niang.
And a lopsided Utah win.
The Jazz led by as many as 30 as they opened up their Summer League schedule with a 92-76 victory over the San Antonio Spurs Monday night in Salt Lake City.
Niang scored a team-high 17 points (on 7-for-12 shooting) and Bradley, Utah's second-year center, finished with 11 points, 11 rebounds and four blocks in 25 minutes.
After missing on his first four attempts, Allen dropped in a baseline floater with 4:08 left in the first half. The rookie struggled from the field (4-for-16 shooting) but still finished with 11 points, eight rebounds, seven assists and a steal in 17 minutes.
Derrick White, the No. 29 pick in the 2017 NBA Draft, led the Spurs with a game-high 22 points on 9-for-21 shooting. Chimezie Mitu (10 points) was the only other San Antonio player to score in double figures. Lonnie Walker IV, this year's No. 18 overall pick, scored seven points on 3-for-16 shooting.
