Utah Jazz personnel on Friday were busy prepping Vivint Arena in Salt Lake City for Sunday’s Game 1 of the first round of the NBA playoffs.
When fans arrive for the game between Utah and the winner of Friday’s game between the Memphis Grizzlies and the Golden State Warriors, they’ll find “Take Note” T-shirts on each seat in the 18,306-seat venue.
Sunday’s game, the first of a best-of-seven series, will tip off at 7:30 p.m. MDT and will be broadcast on TNT. Utah is the top seed in the NBA this season.
Jazz star Donovan Mitchell is expected to make his first appearance on the court since suffering a sprained ankle more than a month ago.
