The Utah Jazz have shed their losing ways, for the time being. A two-game winning streak (Memphis and Dallas) has brought hope back to Salt Lake City and returned the team to the 10th spot in the Western Conference playoff hunt.
While a 10-15 mark might not be world-beating, it's a significant improvement over a season ago, when the Jazz reached 10 wins on January 12th, and that put them at 10-28, with no hope in sight.
While Lauri Markkanen is still the leader of this Jazz team, he now has a second star to help carry the scoring load.
