If there’s one word that can describe this Utah Jazz team, it’s grit.
Tonight will be their 26th game of the season. That’s more games played than anyone in the league. They’ve played 1210 minutes as a team, more than anyone in the league. They’ve been without Mike Conley now for 7 games and will likely be without him tonight. They did have a 5-game slide without him but have adjusted and are now looking as strong as ever. All that adversity and they still sit at #6 in the NBA. They have won with a relentless style of crashing the glass, passing the ball, shooting efficient shots and never relenting.
