Did you catch the great Jazz game on Wednesday night?
If you did, it definitely was a classic.
With no real action in sight, The Utah Jazz and KJZZ-TV will show a few memorable games from the franchise's past, with Jazz broadcasters Craig Bolerjack, Ron Boone and Thurl Bailey weighing in on the 90-minutes program.
Vintage and new interviews will also be conducted, with a few old Jazz commercials spliced in.
The Wednesday night schedule through the end of the year, includes the Jazz-Bulls (1992, triple-OT) on Nov. 9; the Jazz-Nuggets (1996, 36-point comeback) on Nov. 16; the Jazz-Rockets (1997, Game 6 of conference finals) on Nov. 23; the Jazz-Bulls (1997, Game 4 of finals) on Nov. 30; the Jazz-Celtics (1992, end of losing streak at Boston Garden) on Dec. 7; the Jazz-Nuggets (1995, John Stockton becomes all-time assist leader); great Jazz finishes from the 1980s and 1990s on Dec. 21; and the Jazz-Rockets (1985, Game 5 of first-round of playoffs) on Dec. 28.
You gotta love it.
