Salt Lake City Stars News Release


SALT LAKE CITY - The Salt Lake City Stars, the official NBA G League affiliate of the Utah Jazz, snapped their three-game road winning streak in a 121-107 loss to the Fort Wayne Mad Ants at Vivint Arena. Salt Lake sported 'throwback' uniforms for the first of two games honoring the original ABA Utah Stars 1971 Champion team.

Salt Lake City was led by Utah Jazz two-way guard, Johnny Juzang with 20 points on 6-of-14 shooting and 4-of-9 from behind the arc and an impressive 8 rebounds. Tyler Cook dominated with a game high 19 rebounds while notching 18 points. The Utah star himself, Frank Jackson, tallied 16 points, while another 16 points were added by Micah Potter to go with 13 rebounds.

Fort Wayne was paced by forward Gabe York who finished with a game-high of 41 points along with five rebounds and four assists. David Stockton, son of Utah Jazz legend John Stockton, recorded 18 points and led with 12 assists. Meanwhile, Jermaine Samuels Jr. recorded 18 points and 14 rebounds.

The Mad Ants built a 11-point lead in the first quarter (21-10), but the Stars chipped away, entering the second trailing by nine (30-21). Jeenathan Williams led the Stars in the second, finding some rhythm as the Stars trail 67-50 at the half. Fort Wayne outscored Salt Lake City by just one point in the third frame, (28-27) as the Stars made a comeback attempt with the help of Jackson, who chipped in nine points on 4-of-5 shooting. However, the Mad Ants made the final run, entering the final stretch 95-77 before grabbing the victory 121-107.

Salt Lake City will remain with home court advantage as they take on the South Bay Lakers on Saturday, Jan. 21 at the Maverik Center. Tip-off will be at 7 p.m. as the Stars make their final run in the Utah Stars 'throwback' jerseys and will be streamed live on NBAGLeague.com.
