The Utah Jazz have won 19 of their last 20 games. I don’t know how many times that has happened in NBA history, but it is an insane number. Sometimes teams click just right. For a string of games everything just goes right and they rack up a bunch of wins. That’s been partially true for this squad, but certainly hasn’t been the case every single night.
The fact that this Jazz team has had to find wins in a multitude of ways demonstrates just how real they are. They’ve had games where their shot wasn’t falling, they’ve had games where the other guys couldn’t miss, they’ve given up career highs, they’ve been missing starters, they’ve had to fight through foul trouble, they’ve done it on back to backs and 3 games in 4 nights, they’ve beaten bad teams and playoff teams.
