Utah Jazz: Grading each Jazzman’s first-round performance

What. A. Series.

Talk about a roller coaster ride. From blowout wins to historic collapses, questionable officiating to Mitt Romney taunting, this series really did have it all. And Game 6 especially did not disappoint.

Despite OKC’s star-studded lineup, Utah proved that a strong, well-coached team can be far more dangerous than a few All-Stars. Hats off to Billy Donovan and the Thunder for a heck of a series.

To beat a talented and experienced team like OKC in a seven-game series, it takes a total team effort from the top of the roster down.

Which Jazz players stepped up most in their first-round victory and helped propel this team to their second straight appearance in the second-round of the playoffs?
