The Utah Jazz have teased us all year long, showing off glimpses of brilliance at times and appearing like an utter trainwreck on other occasions. Take last week’s win over the Houston Rockets as one of those bright moments and contrast it to the disaster that was the home loss to the Chicago Bulls the week before.
It’s no coincidence that the solid team performances have lined up with when Utah has been the most healthy and the bad losses have coincided with some major injury issues. The Jazz’s leading scorers, Gordon Hayward and George Hill, are a perfect 5-0 when they both have played together.
