San Antonio • Call the Utah Jazz team #nosleep.

Playing on their second consecutive night, and on little rest because of travel issues, the Jazz improbably defeated the San Antonio Spurs 120-111 on Saturday night at the AT&T Center.

Utah’s now on a five-game winning streak, and moves its record to 24-28 on the season. The Jazz have won six of their last seven, and were able to do so without star rookie Donovan Mitchell, who missed the game with flu-like symptoms.

Ricky Rubio scored a career-high 34 points to lead the Jazz, along with nine assists.

Rookie forward Royce O’Neale scored a career-high 18 points with five assists and five rebounds. Derrick Favors scored 14 points and grabbed six rebounds. Joe Ingles scored 10 points, while Raul Neto scored 12 points.
