The Utah Jazz (45-18) have fallen to the 2 seed in the Western Conference following a loss in Phoenix yesterday. They have a chance to take it back tonight. With a win, Utah would take a half game lead on the Suns, who don’t play until tomorrow in Oklahoma City. If the Jazz want that top seed, they’ll have to regain some rhythm. Phoenix won’t lose many of their remaining games, so Utah will have to be even better. The Jazz’ first opponents they will have to deal with are the Toronto Raptors.
The Raptors (26-37) have had a tumultuous season.
