The Utah Jazz have officially clinched a playoff berth.
The Jazz became the first team in the NBA to be guaranteed a top-6 finish and a spot in the postseason, thanks to the Portland Trail Blazers’ loss to Memphis on Sunday afternoon.
The Jazz (44-16) have had a grip on the West’s No. 1 seed for most of the season. Currently, the team holds a two-game lead over the second-place Phoenix Suns.
With 12 games left on their schedule, head coach Quin Snyder and his squad know the work isn’t done.
“There isn’t a lot settled, whether it’s 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,” Snyder said over the weekend.
