Ths Utah Jazz have hit the midpoint of the NBA season, so it’s time for the second annual Andy Awards

On Dec. 10, the Jazz stood just 13-11, in seventh place in the Western Conference. The team was coming off a 1-4 road trip in which they endured convincing blowout losses, and probably weren’t playing even as well as that 13-11 indicated.

And then — blast-off. The team proceeded to win 15 of their next 16 games, the only blemish a three-point loss to the Miami Heat. It’s been an excellent run for the team that leaves them standing at 28-12, with the second seed in the West in hand for now.

And believe it or not, the season’s halfway over; Thursday’s matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans will be the Jazz’s 41st game of the year.
