Prior to the NBA All-Star break, the Utah Jazz suffered one of their worst losses of the season against the Los Angeles Lakers. Although they weren’t fully healthy, the Jazz collapsed in a disappointing manner we’ve seen too many times. They let the Lakers come back into a game they had no business wining, and were bullied out of Crypto.com Arena.
I couldn’t have imagined a worse way for the Jazz to enter the All-Star break. I was worried that, given how fragile the roster seemed during January and February, this loss would act as a large setback.
