OFF THE GRID
Real Salt Lake coach Mike Petke was asked after Sunday’s season-ending win what he plans to work on in the off-season.
He named a few technical aspects, then added, “And I’m going to Africa on safari in December. I didn’t know if you wanted to know what I was doing in the off-season or just tactically, but I’m going to Africa.”
Remember when coaches used to just say they were going to spend the off-season in the film room?
MAKING THE GRADE
Jazz rookie Donovan Mitchell didn’t mince words when grading himself on his opening-night performance, which included 3-for-11 shooting and three turnovers.
