In one of their most impressive efforts of the season, the undermanned Utah Jazz surprised the Cleveland Cavaliers with a spirited 94-85 victory.
Why the Jazz won: In front of a national television audience, the Jazz put together one of their most complete outings of the year, in a game they desperately needed to win to keep pace in the Western Conference postseason battle. With leading scorer Gordon Hayward out with a foot injury, several of Utah’s role players stepped up in a major way. The Jazz’s backcourt of Rodney Hood and Shelvin Mack greatly outplayed their Cavalier counterparts.
