All told, six Jazz players scored in double figures with rookie Grayson Allen netting 16 points on 6-8 shooting from the field as Utah improved to 3-0 in the preseason.
In defeat, Nathan Sobey posted 23 points on 8 of 15 shooting and 3-6 behind the arc for the 36ers, who represent the National Basketbal League, as do the Perth Wildcats, whom the Jazz defeated earlier this preseason.
