The Utah Jazz lost to the Toronto Raptors 104-94. Toronto is not just the 2nd best team in the Eastern Conference, but since we went into 2016 from 2015, they are the 3rd best team in the NBA behind the Golden State Warriors and the San Antonio Spurs. (Oh, by the way, the Spurs clinched a playoff spot with this Jazz loss.) This game was as we expected: close, within our grasp for most of the game, manageable in the fourth, but no push came in crunch time as the better team staved Utah off.
