Raptors vs. Jazz Game Thread: Pre-game updates, TV info, and more

The Toronto Raptors have had two full days to recover from their first pre-season action, and have traveled to the rare air of Utah for their second exhibition game, this time against the Utah Jazz.

It’s Utah’s second game as well; the Jazz handily defeated the Perth Wildcats (yes, Perth as in Perth, Australia) 130-72 on Saturday.

Rookie Grayson Allen was the story in that one, as he went off for 19 points and 5-of-9 from downtown.

It should be a different story against the Raptors perimeter defense tonight. Because Kawhi Leonard is a Raptor. Speaking of whom:

Deep breaths, y’all.
