Grayson Allen nearly registered a triple-double. Georges Niang displayed a diverse offensive skillset. Tony Bradley looked much improved.

And the Utah Jazz defeated the San Antonio Spurs 92-76 before a mostly full Vivint Smart Home Arena.

The Jazz led most of the way and pulled away midway through the second half in defeating the Spurs. They held rookie first-round pick Lonnie Walker IV to 3-of-16 shooting from the field, and generally dominated for much of the night.

Niang led the way for Utah with 17 points. Bradley, the second year center, had 11 points, 11 rebounds and four blocked shots. Allen, in his professional debut, had 11 points, eight rebounds and seven assists.

“I wouldn’t give myself a passing grade,” Allen said of his night. “There were a lot of things I could’ve done better.”

The Jazz move to 1-0 in their summer league.
