Winning changes a lot. It brightens the mood in the locker room of the team. Hopefully we’ll continue to keep that mood going. —Jazz forward Derrick Favors
SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah Jazz are atop the Northwest Division standings for the first time in years, but don’t expect their head coach to celebrate that fact.
Not in public, at least.
Quin Snyder skirted around the question when asked if Wednesday’s 109-89 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder was an important statement game for the Jazz.
After all, those two teams are shaping up to be the cream of the division’s crop this season and Utah got swept by OKC last year.
