Jazz Card of the Day

Utah Jazz, David Benoit
Though the team name fit better when the Jazz were based in New Orleans rather than Salt Lake City, the franchise has fit right in among the NBA elite since moving to Utah in 1979. Five years after the move, the team went to the NBA Playoffs for the first time, and the Jazz have gone every year since then, a span of nine seasons. DID YOU KNOW? In 1988, the Jazz were involved in the NBA's first international "trade," swapping Mel Turpin to Zaragoza of the Spanish League for the rights to Jose Ortiz. With the selection of Delta State's Lucy Harris in the seventh round of the 1977 NBA Draft, the Jazz became the first NBA team to draft a woman. SCORECARD. Playing against the up-tempo Nuggets on April 10, 1982, the Jazz equalled the NBA record for points in the opening quarter by pouring in 50 points.
