This Utah Jazz team has come alive. A week ago, Utah was set to begin their most brutal stretch of the season, with a road trip to Boston, Philadelphia, and Milwaukee, then returning home to face the Denver Nuggets. Going 0-4 in that stretch seemed like a very realistic possibility.
Here we are at the end of those four games. The Jazz went 3-1. After the Celtics dominated them, Utah returned with a vengeance and won each of the following three games by double-digits.
Despite being at home, the game against the Nuggets should have been the toughest challenge.
