Jazz take on Thunder with the 1 seed on the line

Jeffrey Swinger-USA TODAY Sports We’re down to the final weekend of regular season NBA basketball. Kinda wild to think of how fast this season went by. I mean, it was a shortened season, but still. As happens quite frequently, it’s going to come down to the last weekend to determine playoff seeding in the Western Conference.

Needless to say, the Jazz need to win this one tonight, it’s big.
