This is a homecoming game for Sam Merrill, who scored a career high 27 points against the Jazz when we played them in Cleveland. In fact, I think this might be his first professional game in Utah. As much as Sexton might be pumped up to play against Garland, Merrill will probably have a bunch of friends and family in the crowd pumping him up as well. He grew up rooting for the Jazz and they pretty much ignored him. Maybe he'll have one of his 3 pt extravaganza games to lift the short-handed Cavs like he did in December.
